What’s in it

This bill amends the “Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act” to require a landlord to provide a tenant whose rental deposit is being withheld all of the following: why the deposit is being withheld; how much is being withheld; the legal rights available to the tenant; and appeal process if the tenant disagrees with the reasons behind the rental deposit being withheld. The bill also provides that the written statement shall not be longer than one page.
