What are the requirements for getting a security deposit refund on an apartment lease?

Oh, no problem at all, I’m glad you asked! Here is how to process a refund for a security deposit at a Seattle apartment:

1) Make sure you get an occupancy agreement from your landlord (not a lease).

2) Make sure you get a written refund from the apartment owner, in the form of a note from your landlord, or their attorney, stating that your lease has been paid off, and the apartment is officially vacant.

3) Open a tenant security deposit claim through the city’s landlord-tenant division, as an unaccompanied minor. Fill out a CSC-1 form.

4) You should expect a refund within 30 days.

And what about damages and repairs to the apartment?

You can also go to City Hall and file a claim. That will also take some time, however. In this case, they’re only required to pay for “minor” repairs, which I think you would be entitled to do yourself.

There’s also a public document, the “seattlerepair,” which collects details about repairs made to Seattle properties, so you can compare that with what you might be owed.
