Section 8 tenant won't give new address after moveout

[Alex Ballas]

I have a very difficult section 8 tenant who wont give me her mailing address to send her security deposit back (or whats left of it).  She demands I work through her case manager.  Both are very difficult people, so frankly I don't trust either of them.

Am i by law required to send her deposit letter to the tenant or can I legally be allowed to send to case manager if that is what is requested?

@Alex Ballas  alternatively, if she has her mail forwarded to her new address, you can use the " RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED" trick from the post office to get her new address. 

All you have to do is mail an envelope to the person’s old address with “Return Service Requested” printed 1/2 an inch above the delivery address. Just enclose a short letter in case it doesnt work, but it always does. After about 2 weeks, you will get the original letter back with the person’s new address printed on a yellow label. 

They have to have a forwarding address, or you will just get the letter back without any information.

Example of how to address the letter:

RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED
