Indiana time frame for return of tenant's security deposit?

[Tricia O'Brien]

Hello !  Can someone tell me how many days after move out do I have to return the security deposit to a tenant in Indiana?  Some states allow 30 days but someone told me it might be 45 days in Indiana.  Also, I am required to include a list of items I am deducting from the deposit ( unpaid rent, cleaning, touch up paint ,etc) with the refund check correct?  Any replies would be appreciated !  Thanks  :)

I don't know about what the law requires in Indiana, however, if you're going to keep part of the tenants deposits, it would be in everyone's best interest to let them know exactly how much you're keeping and why you're keeping it. 

I have a move in / move out check list and if I have to keep any of the deposit, I send a detailed description of each item. I will also, on request, send the actual invoice from the handyman. 

I'm sure you would expect the same from someone keeping your money.
