Everything you need to know about releasing your deposit account

To give you an overview of rental deposit insurance, we have gathered some important questions (FAQ) here.

Do I need to inform my landlord first?

Yes, you need to inform your landlord that you wish to release the deposited security by replacing it with a rental deposit surety bond. It is important that the landlord is informed in advance, as they are the one who must release the bank account. If the landlord unexpectedly insists that the money remains blocked at the bank, the tenant must accept this.

When will I get my money back?

For the bank to close the account and pay out the balance to the beneficiary (tenant), the landlord's release is required. Banks provide forms that must be completed by both parties (tenant and landlord). However, the landlord only proceeds with this step after receiving the surety bond certificate and being equivalently covered.
