Deposit Required Field Resolution For Free

A tenant who refuses to take part in the inspection process, and damages have been found, is liable to receive their remaining deposit 21 days from the expiration of the lease. If a landlord refuses or has failed to refund the tenant their deposit, the tenant may approach the Rental Housing Tribunal.

Getting a Deposit Back The landlord must return all of the deposits plus any interest within fifteen days unless the tenant agrees in writing that the landlord can keep all or part of the deposit, or the landlord applies for dispute resolution to keep all or part of the deposit(s).

Within 20 days after receiving the written notice, the corporation must return the deposit to the owner, or return the balance of the deposit along with an itemized statement of account showing the amount used to pay for damages to the common property, the personal property of the corporation, or the managed property.

The landlord may be ordered to pay the tenant double the amount of the deposit(s). A landlord may return the deposit to the tenant by electronic means, in person, by mail or by leaving it in the mailbox or mail slot at the tenant's residence.

If there are no deductions for rent, cleaning, repairs, or other costs, such as utilities, late fees or legal fees, the landlord must pay the tenant the full deposit plus interest within 10 days of the day the tenant gave up possession of the rental premises.
