Laws

After the termination of the lease, the landlord has 15 days to return the full security deposit. However, if the landlord wishes to make a claim on the security deposit (for rent, damages, or other costs), they have 30 days to provide written notice to the tenant.After this 30-day period, the landlord forfeits any right to impose a claim and must return the deposit immediately. Unless the tenant objects to the claim within 15 days from the notice, the landlord is given an additional 30 days to return the deposit minus any damages incurred.[1]
