When do I get my deposit back? The landlord has 30 days, unless your lease allows more time (not more than 60 days) to return the deposit or give you an exact and specific list of deductions. You must receive your deposit or an itemized list within that time.
A landlord cannot keep the security deposit to cover normal wear and tear. Thus, a landlord cannot charge you for normal cleaning if the apartment or house is left in as good or better condition than first occupied.
As per law, the landlord can deduct arrears or major repair expenses from the security deposit before refunding the rest to the tenant. Tenants cannot claim a security deposit refund in cases of rent agreement renewal. The refund amount is only returned if the tenant vacates premises after tenure expiry.
Here are some polite ways to request the return of your security deposit: ``I wanted to follow up regarding the return of my security deposit from my previous rental. As I moved out on (date), Id greatly appreciate if you could review the property condition and send the deposit back at your earliest convenience.
Returning a custodial deposit at the end of the tenancy You must specify the amount if you plan to keep some of the deposit. The scheme will write to the tenant, telling them how you think the deposit should be returned. Your tenant must respond to say if they agree or not with your decision.
