Laws
Landlords are required to return the balance of a tenant’s deposit to them, along with a written statement of any deductions, within 30 days from the lease termination date, or 15 days from the date that the landlord is given the tenant’s new address, whichever is lesser. If there is any damage to the rental property, this time frame will be increased by 30 days. In the event that the landlord wrongfully withholds any funds from the tenant, they will be liable for the full unpaid amount plus applicable legal fees.[1]
