Transferring Security Deposits at Closing

[Ian Evans]

Hello BP!

I have a question about transferring security deposits. I just closed on 2 units and I completely forgot to ask the owner to transfer the security deposits at the closing. We closed about a week ago and now I am trying to contact the owner to get the security deposits for the tenants occupying the 2 units I closed on. 

*Did I need to have the transfer of the security deposits in writing in the Agreement of Sale?

*How does this procedure usually take place?

Any advice is much appreciated, thanks.
