Rent Fact: Interest on Security Deposits

Are you moving this year? Don't forget that your landlord owes you interest on your security and pet deposits. There will not be interest owed over 2026, but they owed 1.95% in 2023, 2.7% in 2024, and 0.95% in 2025, and interest is calculated over all of the years they had the deposit, not just the current year.
