How long will the deposit be refunded after check-out?

The deposit is usually refunded on the spot when the key is turned over, but how to refund it is discussed by the landlord and tenant. Under normal circumstances, the deposit must be refunded. Even if the landlord needs to deduct a part, the landlord needs to issue a detailed statement to explain to the tenant. If you deduct it, you will not be able to get a complete deposit. If the lease contract does not specify the nature or rules of the deposit, the deposit must be refunded. When will the rental deposit be refunded? If the lease contract does not specify the nature or rules of the deposit, the deposit will be regarded as the lease advance payment and will be refunded anyway. The people's court shall not support the payment of retention money, deposit, deposit, contract money, deposit or deposit, but there is no agreement on the nature of the deposit.

The role of rental deposit:

1, the rental deposit is the water and electricity fee deducted by the lessor to ensure that his house and household appliances are not illegally resold. This deposit is generally agreed by the tenant.

2. The rental deposit can protect the lessor's rights and interests, such as the damage to the rental facilities and equipment, or the lessee's breach of contract before the lease term. If the contract does not expire, the rental deposit cannot be deducted from the utilities, but if the contract expires, the lessor must refund the deposit in full.
