When a landlord returns a security deposit?

Are you supposed to get the interest from the security deposit also?? and if so, how much would I get back today on a $600 security deposit where the interest was 2% and I moved in 8 years ago?

It might be a local thing, but here, most deposit money is held in escrow so there is no interest. For the answer to your specific question, check your lease.

I've never gotten back any interest in any city or state where I've lived. Usually, you're lucky to get anything back at all.

It depends on state law. No bank account is paying 2%. The landlord gives you what the bank provides minus an administration fee, where 1% is customary.

In our city only in apt complexes over 6 units is any interest due.

2% might be high, the laws state that a money market account minus administration fees is required.

It depends on state law.

If interest was 2 percent then your $600 would have earned about $12 per year. (Plus a little more, of course, due to compounding).

Nope, you don't earn any interest on your security deposit.

all depends on which state your in....most landlords that own over 6 apartments has to pay the going interest rate..if not you get back what you paid...
