Eviction & Security Deposit

[Brianna H.]

We just evicted our tenants for non-payment. Do we have to send them an itemized list of charges to keep their security deposit? 

[Adam Martin]

I like to err on the side of caution.  A judge kicked them out due to past due debts but I'd still send the itemized list including the judgement plus whatever else they owe.  If this was unnecessary you lost postage, if you missed this step how frustrating would it be to have to give a deposit back to a tenant that owes money based on a technicality if they took you to court.
