What happens if the landlord does not return the security deposit or ask for a hearing within seven business days of the end of tenancy?
The landlord can still make an application after the seven-business-day period. However, the Rentalsman will order that the security deposit and any interest be paid to the tenant, unless exceptional circumstances prevented the landlord from complying with the requirements. The Rentalsman must be satisfied that it would be unfair to release the security deposit to the tenant.
