when am I required to return deposit from a broken lease.

[Tom R.]

My tenant is moving on short notice with 5 months to go on her lease. when am I required to return her deposit?

[Andrew B.]

This will likely depend on your state law, but you should be safe to use the date tenant turns over possession of unit as the beginning of your countdown. from there state law will dictate how long you have. usually its 30 days.
