The tenant's failure to provide a new address does not affect her ability to recover the deposit (or any portion thereof) that is owed to her by her former landlord. But by not providing timely notice of the new address, the tenant will not be able to recover double damages for any amount wrongfully withheld from her deposit, or attorney fees.
