Confirm deposit escrow and post the year-end interest notice. DC requires deposits to be held in an interest-bearing escrow account at a DC financial institution, with a year-end notice in the lobby and rental office giving the account location and the rate for each six-month period, and within 45 days after a tenancy ends you must refund the deposit with interest or send written notice of deductions with supporting photos and the tenant's right to dispute, then the balance and an itemized statement within 30 days of that notice, because missed steps can leave you owing the full deposit plus interest.
