New Jersey operators: deposit packet habits · September 2026
Simple Property Tools is built for small landlords who itemize withholds, date surrender, and export before the clock on screen wins. Move-in disclosure paperwork and the move-out return clock are different habits. At turnover, run the return clock from surrender.
- Return default
- 30 days from surrender (keys back · unit vacant)
- Statute label
- N.J.S.A. 46:8-21.1
- Practice
- One line per withhold · dated photos · proof of mail when you send balance
Before you print or email
- Log surrender the day possession returns, not the lease end date on paper alone.
- Match move-in notes to move-out withhold descriptions.
- Archive the PDF export and tracking number in operator logs.
