[RPPTL Leasing Committee] Residential lease security deposit

[RPPTL Real Estate Leasing Committee]

Group:

            Residential lease with $25,000.00 security deposit.  The lease has ended and the Landlord is making a claim against the entire $25,000.00 security deposit.  Tenant is a prominent person who lives out of state and the landlord does not have an address for the tenant.

The tenant's attorney in New York said in an e-mail that he would accept the 30-day security deposit claim letter on behalf of the tenant as the tenant's attorney and that I do not need to send it to the leased premises (the last known address for the tenant) by certified mail RRR

The lease is silent regarding notice to the tenant.  Does the attorney's acceptance in writing of the 30-day security deposit claim letter eliminate the need to send it to the tenant's last known address (which was the leased premises)?
