FORM 12 –– NOTICE OF INTENTION TO IMPOSE CLAIM
ON SECURITY DEPOSIT
A Landlord must return a Tenant's security deposit, together with interest if
otherwise required, to the Tenant no more than 15 days after the Tenant leaves
the leased property. The Landlord may claim all or a portion of the security
deposit only after giving the Tenant written notice, by certified mail to the
Tenant's last known mailing address, of the Landlord's intention to keep the
deposit and the reason for keeping it. The Landlord's notice must be sent within
30 days of the date Tenant vacates the leased property. If the Landlord does not
send the notice within the 30-day period the Landlord cannot keep the security
deposit. If the Tenant does not object to the notice within 15 days after receipt
of the Landlord's notice of intention to impose a claim on the deposit, the
Landlord may then keep the amount stated in the notice and must send the rest
of the deposit to the Tenant within 30 days after the date of the notice.
