Landlord Question and Answer Forum

I have been waiting on a deposit from a prospective tenant and he has told me two different dates that is was overnighted by UPS. Last time he said he would track it and call me back. Did not hear from him again. I relisted the house and am going to show it this week to several interested people. Meanwhile, I finally get the envelope and the tracking shows that he did not mail it until after the 3rd phone call. Can I decline him and just give his deposit back to him? Candie
