Security deposit

Your landlord had 15 days to return if no claim is made; 30 days to give written notice of a claim; balance within 30 days after the notice to return your deposit or list the deductions in writing. If they were late or kept it wrongly, there is no extra multiplier, but a landlord who misses the notice deadline loses the right to keep any of the deposit.

Return deadline15 days to return if no claim is made; 30 days to give written notice of a claim; balance within 30 days after the notice

If the landlord is late or keeps it wronglyNo multiplier: a landlord who misses the 30-day notice deadline forfeits the right to impose a claim on the deposit; the prevailing party in a court action recovers costs and attorney fees
