    Default Can You Get Your Deposit Back if You Didn't Provide a Forwarding Address on Time

    Can a tenant still get her deposit back if she doesn't provide a forwarding address within thirty days of moving out, under Ohio law?

    Default Re: Can You Get Your Deposit Back if You Didn't Provide a Forwarding Address on Time

    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.
