FAQ â What can a tenant do if the landlord does not provide the security deposit? The landlord has 10 days to deliver a statement of account with a cheque for the security deposit (if there is money owing after any deductions) to the tenant. âDeliverâ means the landlord must put the statement in the mail within 10 days of the tenant moving out. It does not mean the tenant has to receive it within 10 days.
Landlords will often collect first and last monthâs rent upon move-in. This money can only be used for rent and is not considered a deposit. If the rental agreement does not specifically state how tenants should apply their last monthâs rent, then it is up to tenants to communicate with their landlord on how to use it. It is a good idea to send a letter the month you vacate asking your landlord to apply your last monthâs rent.
