EVICTED TENANT LOOKING TO RECEIVE SECURITY DEPOSIT???

[Michael Craig]

Yesterday was the day (finally) the sheriff came to evict my inherited tenant! Upon his leaving, the tenant asked when he will be receiving his security deposit (I couldn't believe it).  In my leases, I include that the tenant is responsible for all repossession fees. Because he was inherited and has been living without a lease for over 10 years, am I entitled to the repo fees?

What crazy eviction stories do you have!?

EVEN if EVICTED you need to send out a security deposit statement.. to last known address or forwarding address within your state guidelines..

SO he owed you money,, put that in the statement.. he owed you court costs,, list that,, he owed you for cleaning,, damages,, list it all

If he had no deposit on record,, list no deposit on record.. 

Just sent the security deposit statement as required..
