Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / Security Deposit Returned After 21 Days

I returned full amount of the security deposit + 1% interest to my tenant 2 days late and now he is taking me to court saying it was returned late. Please advise what options do I have and thoughts on how judge will see this case.

RE: Security Deposit Returned After 21 Days

I'd be surprised if the courts did anything about it with it being 2 days late and that he received the full amount. On another note....I believe the courts consider it being received the date it was mailed. Keep us posted
