With Baselane, collecting and refunding deposits is simple and compliant. Landlords can accept payments by ACH, wire, or check into a dedicated tenant security deposit account, ensuring funds are separated and transparent.
Deposits are held in a security deposit interest bearing account or security deposit savings account, so landlords stay compliant while tenants may earn interest. Using an account to hold security deposit avoids commingling funds and reduces legal risk.
When it’s time to return funds, refunds are processed quickly from the tenant security deposit account, with clear records of deductions for cleaning, damages, or unpaid utilities. Baselane also supports compliance with state rules on security deposit interest rate and refund timelines.
Whether managing a lease security deposit, rental deposit account, or landlord security deposit, Baselane streamlines the process from start to finish.
