Bill Summary

SECURITY DEPOSITS -- Amends existing law to provide that a tenant's security deposit shall be held in a separate account.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to require that a tenant's security deposit be held in a separate account, rather than commingled with the landlord's funds. It specifies that this requirement applies to residential rental properties managed by a third-party agent, but not to the property owner, managers with common ownership, real estate licensees, or certain non-profit organizations. The bill maintains the existing requirements that the security deposit be refunded to the tenant within 21-30 days of the lease termination, unless funds are needed to cover damages beyond normal wear and tear.
