- What is a security deposit receipt in Ohio?
- It records that deposit money was received, the amount, and the property. Ohio does not cap how large a residential security deposit may be. If the deposit exceeds $50 or one month’s rent, whichever is greater, the excess generally earns 5% interest after the tenant has been there six months. After the tenancy ends and the tenant gives a forwarding address, unused deposit plus an itemized list is generally due within 30 days.
- Is the receipt the move-out accounting?
- No. At move-out you still owe an itemized list of deductions and any refund within 30 days, to the extent Ohio law requires.
- What is the deposit cap in Ohio?
- No statutory cap
