Landlord Question and Answer Forum

Forum / General Property Management / Security Deposit
I am not sure how to proceed with a tenant and their security deposit. Then sent me certified mail their forwarding address May 12th, 2010 and they had already let me know end of March they would be out by the end of May. Then they asked for one week in June which I pro-rated them. They officially vacated on June 6th, 2010, so do I have 30 days from June 6th or must I have returned it 30 days from the May 12th date? This is in Ohio

RE: Security Deposit
I cannot answer the time portion for Ohio (for example in CA we have 21-days), but the timeline would start from the day you got possession back from the tenant. In this case that is X number of days from June 6th.

In Michigan, it's 30 days from date keys are returned.

RE: Security Deposit
I have a great form that I use to send to tenants prior to moving out. You can use the form and change any way you like but I will need you to email me at kberly_2005@yahoo.com to get it to you.
