Your New Brunswick tenancy
NB rule is unusual: the landlord must deliver your deposit to the Residential Tenancies Tribunal, which holds it in trust. At end of tenancy the landlord has only 7 days to file a claim; absent a claim the Tribunal returns the deposit to you. If the landlord never delivered the deposit to the Tribunal in the first place, that's a separate s.8.1 breach.
This letter will cite
New Brunswick Residential Tenancies Act, SNB 1975 c.R-10.2, s.8 (deposit cap = 1 week's rent), s.8.1 (landlord must deliver deposit to Tribunal within 15 days), s.10 (return procedure, landlord 7-day claim window); General Regulation NB Reg 82-218; Law Society Act 1996 (S.N.B. 1996, c.89) (UPL framing).
Your letter cites s.8.1 (Tribunal-held deposit), the 7-day landlord claim window, and signals an Application to the Residential Tenancies Tribunal as the stage-2 escalation. Filing is FREE for tenants.
