As required by California Civil Code section 1950.5: within 21 days of a residential tenant moving out of the premises, the landlord must send the tenant: (1) the balance of the security deposit; (2) an itemized statement of any deductions from the security deposit; and (3) copies of receipts for the deductions. If the landlord does not comply with these requirements, the tenant can write a demand letter for refund of the security deposit. If the landlord still does not return the security deposit, then the tenant can sue in small claims court for the security deposit plus penalties of up to two times the amount of the security deposit.
