The disposition of the security deposit is prepared and issued within 30 days as required by Texas Property Law. FCR Personnel will discuss any major damages with the Property Owner. Bills are to be collected for disbursement of the security deposit statement. If necessary, FCR uses estimates for deductions from security deposits until receiving the bills. If the vacating tenant owes money for rent and/or damages, it is to show on the security deposit transmittal, and a letter of request is to be prepared with the transmittal. If money is due a check is issued with the deposit transmittal. The Property Manager mails the funds to the former tenant with an explanation of funds and/or damages via certified mail.
