# BC押金：金额、转寄地址与返还申请 > 核BC押金与利息，送书面转寄地址，按15日法定处理钟及直接申请条件追回押金，并保留普通申请后备路。 --- LLMS 索引： [llms.txt](/llms.txt) --- BC普通住宅的security deposit最多半个月租金，pet damage deposit另外最多半个月，不按宠物数量叠加。租约结束后，先把书面转寄地址送给房东并证明收件；通常房东须在 **租约结束与收到地址两日中较晚日起15日内** 退还押金及应付利息，或向RTB申请保留款项。双倍返还有条件，不能把“搬走十五天还没到账”直接当作已获双倍裁决。[法律第19—21、38—39条](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/02078_01) ## 先核金额、扣款及验房权利 security deposit一般只可在订立租约时收一次；pet deposit可在订约时或租期中首次获准养宠物时收。导盲／服务犬等特殊对象须另核适用规则。超收部分可依法扣抵租金或申请追回，但普通押金不能自行当末月租金，除非有房东书面同意。[法律第17—21条](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/02078_01)、[主管押金说明](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/residential-tenancies/starting-a-tenancy/deposits-fees) 房东不能约定租期一结束便自动没收押金。法定情形包括租约结束时租客对具体金额的书面同意、符合条件的既有未付命令，或RTB作出保留命令。验房失误也会影响权利：租客可能失去返还权，房东可能失去以损坏为由扣押金的权利；这与欠租等其它索赔不同。[法律第24、36、38条](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/02078_01)、[联合验房](/book/life/housing/bc-rental-condition-inspection/) 利息按各年规则计算，不能把2026年公布的0%推成整个租期都没有利息。用实际收押金日、返还日及金额核[官方计算器](https://www.housing.gov.bc.ca/rtb/WebTools/InterestOnDepositCalculator.html)，再与[主管历年利率](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/residential-tenancies/starting-a-tenancy/deposits-fees)核对。[条例第4条](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/477_2003) ## 送地址并算两种不同的钟 租约结束后一年内提供书面转寄地址，否则返还权可能消灭。可用[RTB-47](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/housing-and-tenancy/residential-tenancies/forms/rtb47.pdf)写单位、租客、邮寄地址并签署日期，也可用其它合规书面件。直接申请指南明确要求 **邮寄地址** ；不要只填普通联系邮箱。[法律第39条](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/02078_01)、[现直接申请指南GL49](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/housing-and-tenancy/residential-tenancies/policy-guidelines/gl49.pdf) 保存送出的件，用[RTB-41](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/housing-and-tenancy/residential-tenancies/forms/rtb41.pdf)记录送达方式、日期、地址、收件或见证、邮寄跟踪等证据。法第88条与条例允许的送达方式须核；邮寄通常视为第五日收到，合规电子送达通常第三日，实际更早收到可能改变起算。普通往来邮箱不自动成为正式送达地址，可用[RTB-51](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/housing-and-tenancy/residential-tenancies/forms/rtb51.pdf)或其它证明双方已提供该邮箱作送达用途的文件。[法律第88、90条](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/02078_01)、[条例第43—44条](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/477_2003) 房东的法定处理钟是上述较晚日起15日；主管的 **直接申请门槛另要求租约结束及提供转寄地址后至少20日** 。这不把法定15日延成20日。房东未退、未及时申请，且没有适用命令或扣款同意、租客返还权也未消灭，才可能依法请求双倍未返部分。[法律第38—38.1条](https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/02078_01)、[GL49条件与时间](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/housing-and-tenancy/residential-tenancies/policy-guidelines/gl49.pdf) ##
