I am leaving a non-rent regulated apartment in
Queens at the end of this month. We paid a $2000
security deposit back in October of 1990. So it has been gathering interest for 12 years. A few questions for the forum. Any help provided would
be appreciated.
Q1. When we get our security deposit back, will
it include the interest that the deposit
has earned in the past 12 years?
Q2. Are there any banking fees that the landlord
can claim will be deducted from the security
deposit plus interest?
Q3. Does the interest on the security deposit
have to be paid to us within 30 days of our
move out date? It is my understanding that
the security deposit has to be paid back to
us within 30 days of our move out date. I
am not sure though about the interest the
security deposit has earned.
Thanks everyone for your help on this.
All the best,
