- 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.
