Return or claim, not automatic forfeiture
- The landlord generally must return the deposit with interest or make a proper claim within 15 days after the tenancy ends.
- An agreement in writing to keep a specified amount or an existing order may change the procedure.
- Give the landlord a forwarding address and keep delivery proof, Form 5 inspections and dated condition photos. The 15-day statutory benchmark also applies when a tenancy is assigned; contested end/possession dates can change when the clock starts. Under section 40, a special six-month address-and-reasonable-efforts exception can affect entitlement, so contact the Rental Office if the landlord claims the tenant could not be reached. The tenant can apply using Form 2A if no proper return occurs.
