Quire Paper / Technical & professional / Security Deposit Ledger
Every deposit, accounted for

Held, itemized, and returned on deadline — figured for you.

Security deposits are the fastest way for a landlord to end up in small-claims court. This ledger tracks every deposit through its whole life: what you hold and where, the itemized deductions at move-out, and the return deadline your state sets — so what's owed back, and by when, is never a guess.

The deposit you forgot to return on time
is the deposit that costs you double.

Security Deposit Ledger — the actual workbook, full size
How it works

Log it. The ledger runs the clock.

A deposit ledger, an itemized deductions tab, and a dashboard — the deposit record every landlord needs and few keep well.

01

Track what you hold

One row per deposit: tenant, unit, amount, date received, and which account it's held in. Deposits on hand total on the dashboard.

02

Itemize move-out charges

List cleaning, repairs, unpaid rent, and damage on the Deductions tab; they total into the ledger and the amount-to-return figures itself.

03

Never miss a deadline

Set your state's return window in days; the workbook computes the return deadline and days left, and flags overdue returns in red.

04

See your exposure

The dashboard shows deposits on hand, returns due and overdue, deductions logged, and deposits already returned — all live.

05

Close it out clean

Enter the date returned to close a deposit. Every deposit's status — Held, Return due, Overdue, Returned — is always current.

06

Keep the record

A dated, itemized deposit history you can hand a tenant, a mediator, or a court if a return is ever disputed.

What's inside

Four tabs. Zero macros. Every total a live formula.

  • Deposit Ledger40 deposits: amount, where held, move-out date, return window, and auto deductions, amount-to-return, deadline, days-left, and status with overdue highlighting.
  • DeductionsItemized move-out charges by tenant and category, totaling into the ledger by name.
  • DashboardDeposits on hand, returns overdue, a status breakdown, and a deduction-by-category breakdown — every number live.
  • How to UseQuick-start, the definitions, the unlock password, and the disclaimer. A record-keeping tool — deposit rules vary by state.
