DO I NEED TO SEND A SECURITY DEPOSIT STATEMENT TO THE TENANT EVEN IF I HAVE FILED A LAWSUIT?

Absolutely! Remember that within twenty-one days of the date that the tenant has vacated the premises you must send a "Disposition of Security Deposit Statement" to your tenant which will detail how much, if any, has been applied to cleaning or repairs above and beyond normal wear and tear, or to unpaid rent pursuant to the terms of your rental agreement.

The Law Office has forms ready for you to use. Simply call us, and under certain circumstances we will be delighted to send one to you, or provide it to you when you visit the office.
