In Calif., how many days does the landlord have to return your deposit after you move out?
I think it's 2 weeks. The landlord said 2 weeks then she said 30 days. She isn't too bright when it comes to the laws and following and understanding rental agreements I found.

(1) No later than 21 calendar days after the tenant has vacated the premises, but not earlier than the time that either the landlord or the tenant provides a notice to terminate the tenancy under Section 1946 or 1946.1, Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure, or not earlier than 60 calendar days prior to the expiration of a fixed-term lease, the landlord shall furnish the tenant, by personal delivery or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a copy of an itemized statement indicating the basis for, and the amount of, any security received and the disposition of the security and shall return any remaining portion of the security to the tenant.

I looked on a website about renters agreements and they have no longer than 21 days to get it back to you. I was wondering the same thing when I moved out. My deposit was recieved probably about 21 days later. They have that long, could arrive to you sooner or a few days later. But make sure you see why they took out money, if any, too. Go to the website the I provided and you can read all about renters law in CA.

"Under Civil Code Section 1950.5, the landlord can charge no more than 2 months' rent for an unfurnished apartment as a security deposit, and 3 months for a fully furnished unit. Within 21 days after you leave the unit, the landlord must refund your full deposit, except for limited deductions which must be itemized in a accompanying notice. The landlord may only deduct from your security deposit the amounts that are reasonably necessary to clean the premises for the next tenant, repair damages that you caused beyond normal wear and tear, and pay any rent you owed but did not pay. Painting the unit is not a legitimate deduction, unless inherent in repairs of damage you caused, such as replacing the walls. Also, even if you rented the place in unclean condition, you have to return it in clean condition, or your security deposit can be used to clean it up."

Three weeks, if I remember correctly. 21 days. It must show itemized deductions for unusual wear and tear or damage.


wizzybone

The law is 21 days. Unless, they notify you in writing why it will take longer, in case of excession repairs or damage. It says on the front page of your lease. I am a property manager.

30 days. You can google it and find out, but from personal experience i know that they have 30 days to give you the deposit. If it is more than 30 days, then they have to give you the full deposit back, even if they were only going to give you back half or whatever.

you need to walk thru the house with him afinal inspection and then have him write out your check. the answer is how long did he give you to come up with the deposit. shouldnt be over two days ok.

Return of Deposits
After a tenant moves out, a landlord has 14 days to either return deposits, or give the tenant a written statement of why all or part of the money is being kept. It is advisable for the tenant to leave a forwarding address with the landlord when moving out.

Under the law, the rental unit must be restored to the same condition as when the tenant moved in, except for normal wear and tear. Deposits cannot be used to cover normal "wear and tear," or damage that existed when the tenant moved in. (Under the law, a damage checklist should have been filled out when the tenant moved in.)

The landlord is in compliance with the law if the required payment, statement, or both, are deposited in the U.S. mail with first-class postage paid within 14 days. If the tenant takes the landlord to court, and it is ruled that the landlord intentionally did not give the statement or return the money, the court can award the tenant up to twice the amount of the deposit.

If the apartment is handled by a management company off site, then it can take up to 30 days. I've moved four times in five years, and I've never had a deposit take more than 30 days, usually sooner.

Of course, management has the right to charge for any trash removal, carpet stains, or damage to walls or window coverings. In most instances, it is LESS expensive to allow them to correct the problem and take the money out of your deposit than it would cost to do the work yourself. That's a little known fact.
