Good evidence makes a Kansas security deposit dispute much easier to explain.
Keep timeline proof
Save proof of:
- when the tenancy ended
- when you returned keys, access, or possession
- when and how you demanded the deposit
- when the landlord returned money or sent itemization
- when any claimed charges were explained or determined
Keep money proof
Save:
- the lease
- deposit receipt or payment record
- rent ledger, bank record, or portal record
- proof of whether the rental was furnished, unfurnished, or included a pet deposit
- refund check or payment proof
- written itemized notice
- envelopes, postmarks, email headers, and certified-mail records
Keep condition proof
Save:
- move-in photos and videos
- move-out photos and videos
- cleaning receipts
- repair communications
- messages about condition
- invoices, estimates, or receipts connected to deductions
Keep communication proof
Written communication is easier to use than memory. Save emails, texts, portal messages, letters, screenshots, mailing receipts, and landlord responses.
