Landlord Must Return Deposit

April 1, 2006

LVT Number: 18792

Tenants sued landlord for return of their security deposit after they moved out of the apartment. The court ruled for tenants. Landlord appealed and lost. The fact that tenants returned to the apartment the day after their lease expired to pick up a piece of personal property didn't make tenants responsible for another month's rent.
