Re: Gaining Landlord access to security deposit money

I cannot figure out why you did it that way
For each new tenant, I open another CD. It has their name on the memo line. I send to the tenant all the documents on the CD...but of course they cannot cash it out. When they move out, I cash the CD..keep all the documents. And then send a check myself along with the bank records concerning the CD and the interest paid on it.
I have never been required to open an account for the tenant...and I wonder if I could since the tenant would have to sign lots of documents for the IRS (proof the money didn't come from a money laundering operation ).
I had this issue come up before judges (In a different county) and no judge has found fault with it

Thanks @Ktiekate I like your CD approach. I used to have 12 Coop units and the original RE managing agent had set things up as bank account: Landlord name Trustee Tenant Security Deposit Esc Acct Tenant name so I inherited this poor approach from agent who I fired several years ago, and began managing things myself. I will explore how I might "convert" my approach.
