Tenants could write to their landlord requesting the return of the security deposit and why they should return it. For example, tenants may disagree with the reason for the deduction or with the amount being deducted.
If the landlord and tenant cannot come to an agreement about the security deposit, then the tenant can make an application in Alberta Court of Justice or with the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service for the return of the security deposit.
