Save yourself the math headache—found a great tool for CA security deposit interest

Hey everyone,

If you manage rentals in LA, SF, Berkeley, or West Hollywood, you know how tedious tracking down official city interest rates can be. Between rates changing every year and different rules for every city, it’s easy to make a small math error that leads to a tenant dispute or a compliance headache.

I’m the owner of SecurityDepositCalculator.com, and I wanted to share this resource with the community to help take the guesswork out of your move-out statements.

What it does for you:

  • Official Data: Automatically pulls the latest rates from the LA Housing Dept, SF Rent Board, and more.
  • Professional PDF Reports: Generates a clean, itemized statement you can hand to your tenant with their refund check.
  • Mobile Optimized: Works perfectly on your phone while you’re at the property doing a walkthrough.

Supported Cities:

  • Los Angeles (LAHD)
  • San Francisco (Rent Board)
  • Berkeley
  • West Hollywood

A quick favor: I want to keep this tool free and accurate for everyone. If you find it helpful, all I ask is that you share the link with your friends, colleagues, or local REI groups. Word of mouth is the only way this tool grows!
