It should be noted that many states have enacted laws regarding the return of security deposit to rental tenants. In many cases, there are deadlines after the expiration of the tenant’s lease by which the security deposit must be returned or the landlord may face fines or penalties. This form is designed to help landlords draft a letter to be used to return all or a portion of a tenant’s security deposit after they have moved out.
