@Kirk R. @Keith Davidson

Make sure you google your states law on returning deposits as many people from other states will give you answers based on the law in their state 

Keith- In Texas we are not required to keep security deposits in an escrow or interest bearing account.  Actually, you can do anything you want to with it.  Texas law requires the deposit to be refunded minus any deductions within 30 days of being provide a forwarding address
