Yukon security deposit return date planner
Estimate 15 days from whichever is later: move-out or receipt of forwarding details.
Check your dates
This gives you a starting date. Your actual deadline may be different.
Why the later date matters
The 15-day period starts after the later of the tenancy ending or the landlord receiving the tenant’s forwarding address or e-transfer information in writing.
The landlord generally must act within 15 days after the later of the tenancy ending and receipt of forwarding address or e-transfer contact details in writing. For a disputed deduction, the landlord usually must apply to the RTO within that period rather than simply retaining the money.
What to retain
Save dated proof of forwarding information, the lease, condition inspection reports and proof of deposit payment.
If the deposit is retained
Check whether an agreed deduction or on-time dispute-resolution application exists. Contact Yukon RTO for the correct claim process.
The planner calculates the timing estimate only, not the deposit-plus-interest amount. Yukon requires deposit interest and warns that the tenant may lose the deposit if written forwarding information is not provided within six months of tenancy ending.
