Your landlord cannot decide on their own to keep your deposit. If they believe they are entitled to it, they must obtain written permission from either you or the Residential Tenancy Branch. If the 15-day deadline passes without your landlord returning the deposit, obtaining your written consent, or applying for dispute resolution, you are allowed to file your own application against your landlord for double the amount of the deposit. | Your landlord cannot decide on their own to keep your deposit.
