A security deposit receipt is given from landlord to tenant after a lease agreement has been signed to give proof of receipt of the damage deposit. The form is also used to communicate where the money is being held. In some states, this information is legally required and must include both the account number and whether the account is collecting interest on the deposit.

Whether a receipt is legally required depends on the jurisdiction of the rental property. If the lease is being signed in any of the below states/districts, a landlord is legally required to provide some form of written statement (contents vary by state).
In all cases, a deposit receipt is generally good idea as it ensures clear communication between landlord and tenant and promotes good book keeping.
