My Security Deposit

Each tenant will need to complete the Forwarding Address Form prior to moving out. Michigan law states you are required to inform your Landlord of your forwarding address within four (4) days of moving out. Failure to do so automatically waives your rights to an itemized list of damages. Security deposits will be returned to the address submitted within 30 days of lease termination date with an itemized list of damages or deductions if any exist. Do not call or email for your refund unless you do not receive it after 30 days.

What will I be charged for?

Tenants will be charged for lost or damaged items in the property. For a detailed list of what things will cost if they are lost or damaged refer to your lease agreement. If you are responsible for any utility bills at your property a prorated amount will be deducted from your security deposit for the time you lived at the house. Any late fees or unpaid rent will also be deducted from the security deposit.

I have not received my security deposit yet, what should I do?

Has it been 30 days or more since the last day on your lease? If not, do not call or email JL Rental Group. As long as you have submitted a forwarding address  you will receive your Security Deposit. If it has been more than 30 days since the last day on your lease and you still do not have your Security Deposit please email JL Rental Group.

What if I am renting from JL Rental group next year?

If you are renting from JL Rental Group for another consecutive year your security deposit will carry over for that year. This also applies if you are moving to a different JL Rental Group property. That means you do not need to pay another security deposit! Your security Deposit will be refunded when you are no longer renting from JL Rental Group.
