Arkansas Move-Out Checklist
Arkansas deposit disputes are easier when the move-out record is clean.
The main things to prove are when the tenancy ended, when possession was delivered, what address the landlord had, and what condition the rental was in.
The goal is not to make move-out complicated. It is to make sure the Arkansas facts that matter later are already saved before anyone is arguing about the deposit.
Before you leave
- Save the lease and deposit amount.
- Send your move-out date in writing.
- Give your current mailing address in writing.
- Take photos and video.
- Return keys and possession in a way you can prove.
- Keep receipts, emails, texts, and mailing records.
After you leave
Watch for a written itemized list, a refund check, an envelope, or any returned-mail issue. Arkansas's last-known-address rule makes mailing records important.
If the deposit is late or deductions arrive, this record becomes the foundation for the next written step. The paid Arkansas Recovery System starts with that preventive record-building step.
