    Default Can a Landlord Deduct from a Security Deposit After Missing Deadline for its Return

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Minnesota

    If a landlord does not return a security deposit on time can they still deduct from it or do they owe the entire amount?

    It's 504B.178. Here's a link to it.

    I read the statue and didn't quite understand everything that's why I'm asking.

    If you believe that some or all of your deposit was wrongly withheld under the statute, you can file a small claims case asking for the relief described in the statute. It may turn out that you have a viable claim against your landlord, even if he also has a viable counter-claim for the damage you caused.

    If you identify the exact provision of the statute that you are having difficulty with, somebody might be able to explain it to you.
