Security Deposit Question:
How do I go about sending a tenant's security deposit back to them?
Money Order? ACH bank-to-bank transfer through a platform such as Baseline?
Or another way?

You need to look at the Landlord tenant code for the county/state you're in to see how you're obligated to send the deposit back. In DE we must send a letter within 20 days of move out by certificate of mailing itemizing any deductions against their deposit or if none saying this represents the return of your deposit in full etc with a check to the forwarding address provided to you by the tenant.
