Walk It Through: The Deposit That Did Not Come Back

A clean move out, 30 days of silence, the renter's notice, and five business days.

A renter moves out and returns the keys. A month passes with no deposit and no list.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A renter who left and returned possession. Disputes over whether a deduction was proper, and damages beyond the deposit, are for the court the case is brought in.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
