The legislation applies to rental agreements entered into on or after July 1, 2025, and requires landlords who have already collected security deposits larger than one months rent to return the excess amount to tenants upon request.
Tell the scheme if the landlord or agent do not reply or refund your deposit within 10 days of you writing to ask for it back. The scheme will contact your landlord. They will tell them to pay the money into an account until the dispute is resolved and offer dispute resolution to you both.
If the tenant and landlord cant docHub a compromise, the tenants best remedy is to sue the landlord for the money withheld, leaving it up to the small claims court judge to decide who is telling the truth.
By law, security deposits must be returned when the tenant moves out, minus allowed expenses. The law limits the amount of security deposits. o Until July 1, 2024, the limit is two times the monthly rent (or, for furnished units, three times the rent). o After July 1, 2024, the limit is one months rent.
The landlord must return the security deposit to the tenant within thirty (30) days after the tenant moves out, if the tenant has not caused damage to the premises. The landlord must return the full security deposit, plus interest.
