Frequently asked questions: Release rent deposit
The landlord can keep the deposit as long as claims can still be asserted. The bank only releases it if both parties agree or there is a court decision. Under Art. 257e para. 3 CO the bank may under certain circumstances release it after one year.
If the landlord agrees, write to the landlord and ask for cooperation. If the landlord has not legally asserted any claims within one year, address the letter directly to the bank.
No. AboQuit is purely a writing and courier service. Whether the bank releases the deposit is the bank's own decision.
