The figures behind this
Applies January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025
"The current security deposit interest rate is 4.3%. Interest is due in January 2026 for security deposits held during 2025." The city sets the rate each year and interest is owed to the tenant by January 31. Pay it: a tenant who has not been paid may deduct what they are owed from their rent from February 1. That deduction is the tenant's remedy, not a way for you to settle it.
