Offsetting Rental Deposit upon Termination
Upon termination of the tenancy by mutual agreement, the deposit is offset against outstanding accounts. The landlord must repay the remaining amount within one month, minus damage or rent.
Rights and Deadlines
The tenant may not accept unreasonable deductions. Demand specification of costs. In case of dispute, initiate proceedings with the Rent Tribunal.
Tips for Offsetting
Combine with handover report. Pay outstanding service charges yourself for faster repayment.
Know your rights for fair handling of the deposit.
