Kentucky sets no fixed number of days for a landlord to return a security deposit.

This may not apply everywhere in Kentucky

Sources disagree whether KRS 383.580 applies statewide or only in URLTA-adopting cities/counties (e.g. Louisville, Lexington). Treat as varying by locality until verified against the statute.
