Laws

The landlord must send the tenant notice by certified mail detailing the amount of refund due along with a list of the damages to be subtracted from the deposit. If the landlord fails to meet these requirements, they will not be entitled to retain any of the security deposit. The tenant must respond to the landlord to claim the refund within 60 days of receiving the notice.[1]
