  • Defines "the date that the lessee vacated the premises" as the date when the lessee's right to possess and occupy the premises expires under the lease or applicable law.

  • Exempts tenancies at sufferance and leases terminated for cause by the lessor from the security deposit withholding requirements of this Section.
