The park owner is required to return your security deposit if you do not owe any rent and you did not cause any damage to the premises. It is important that you do the following:

• Give a forwarding address, and
• Object within 15 days.

Give a forwarding address

Give the park owner your forwarding address. Without this, the park owner is not required to give notice of any damages incurred to the premises. The park owner can subtract money from your security deposit for unpaid rent or damages.

Subtractions from a security deposit can only be made if the park owner provides a detailed list of damages. The list must include the estimated cost for the repair of each item. The list must be given to the tenant within 15 days after termination or expiration of the lease. If the park owner fails to provide the notice of damages within 15 days, the full deposit must be returned to you.

Object within 15 days

If you disagree with the damages, you must object within 15 days after you receive the notice. If you do not object, your silence will be considered as an agreement that you owe the damages.

Interest on the deposit must be paid if the park contains 25 or more mobile homes. If the park owner willfully fails or refuses to pay the interest required, the tenant may sue, and the park owner may be liable for an amount equal to the deposit along with court costs and attorney fees.
