What is the process for getting my security deposit back?

The process for retrieving a security deposit may vary depending on the specific policies of Atlas Properties and the local laws governing rental agreements. Generally, after a tenant vacates a property, the landlord or property management team will conduct a thorough inspection of the premises. This inspection aims to assess any potential damages or cleaning needs beyond normal wear and tear. If the property is found to be in satisfactory condition, the tenant is typically entitled to the full return of their security deposit. However, if any damages have occurred, the landlord may deduct the cost of repairs or cleaning from the security deposit, and the tenant should receive an itemized list of these deductions. Tenants are advised to review their lease agreement, as it often outlines specific terms regarding the return of the security deposit, including the time frame for its return. In many cases, landlords are required to return the deposit within a certain number of days after the tenant moves out. For your particular situation, it may be helpful to check Atlas Properties' website for additional details or contact information regarding security deposit policies.
