YOU HAVE 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE TENANT VACATES TO SEND THE NOTICE OF INTENTION TO IMPOSE CLAIM ON SECURITY DEPOSIT

IF YOU FORGET, YOU MAY QUALIFY UNDER THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE

1.   The Law requires you to SEND the Notice of Intention to Impose Claim out by certified mail within 30 days of the tenant vacating.

2.  The Law provides a limited EXCEPTION to the rule. 

3.   You qualify for the EXCEPTION if:

1. The Tenant abandons or vacates PRIOR to the end of the lease OR month to month term.

AND

2. The Tenant DOES NOT give you at least 7 days written notice by certified mail or hand delivery stating they will be vacating and also giving you a forwarding address.

4.   It is EXTREMELY dangerous to rely on the EXCEPTION as the Tenant can fabricate the 7 Day Notice and claim they handed it to you.

5.  The PURPOSE of the EXCEPTION is that if you don’t know the Tenant has vacated and don’t know a forwarding address, it is not fair to you to be held to a strict time period.   

6.  If you 100% know a tenant has vacated and STILL do not get the Notice of Intention to Impose Claim on Security Deposit out by certified mail, using the EXCEPTION to the rule can be difficult.  

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO GET THE NOTICE OF INTENTION TO IMPOSE CLAIM ON SECURITY DEPOSIT OUT BY MAIL.  IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FORWARDING ADDRESS, YOU SIMPLY USE THE ADDRESS OF THE HOME YOU WERE RENTING TO THE TENANTS.
