The damage deposit will usually be mailed back in the form of a check 7-21 days after check-out, possibly up to 30 days in some cases. IF…..no damages are incurred to the home, HOME WAS LEFT IN THE ORDER IT WAS FOUND, and there are no other violations of rental policy. (Warranting that there are no damages to be accessed.) Damage Deposit will possibly take longer than normal if there is something in question. Time frame is never guaranteed. Damage deposit will be sent to address provided on the rental contract.

Renters must promptly disclose any known or suspected issues with the home.
If a breach of contract occurs and eviction is warranted, weather eviction right was exercised or not, there will be absolutely no money refunded regardless of how long you have stayed at the home or how many days you have paid for. Eviction will result in full loss of all money paid.
