[RPPTL LandTen] Residentiall Security Desposit

[Alberto M Cardet]

Landlord has residential lease agreement with two tenants.  Tenants are
boyfriend and girlfriend.  Lease has terminated and so has the boyfriend /
girlfriend relationship.  Both tenants have sent separate letters to
landlord providing new addresses for each and requesting return of the
security deposit to each individually.  Both tenants claim the full security
deposit belongs to each one individually.  The deposit was initially paid
from the girlfriend's checking account  and the rent was paid from the
boyfriend's account.  Each claims their monies were comingled during the
tenancy.

 

Aside from interpleading a relatively small amount of money $1,200.00, and
wanting to avoid a small claims case for the return of the deposit.  How do
you all feel making the check for the full security deposit payable to both
and mailing it to one of them and a copy of the check to the other and let
the former tenants sort it out?

 

Suggestions?
