Unless you send a Letter to Landlord with Forwarding Address, your landlord may be relieved from sending you an itemized list of damages.
If the landlord then retains part or all of your security deposit, he can not be penalized.
Although you may only be required by law to send this by ordinary mail, it is always a good idea to use registered or first class mail and to retain proof of mailing.
