The written consent of the landlord is required in order for the money in a security deposit account to be released. We recommend that both the landlord and the tenant complete separate termination forms online, regardless of whether or not there are any claims on the deposit. These web forms can be submitted from the internet bank. Use this link to log in and go straight to the form:
If the landlord has no claim on the deposit, the money will be paid to the tenant as soon as the landlord has requested that the money in the deposit account is released.
