These cited regulations address three distinct aspects of security deposits: how they are collected, how any interest earned on them is handled, and the rules for refunding or applying them. The section does not itself state substantive rules but consolidates the key citations that property owners and administrators must consult for compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of HUD-assisted properties should treat HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 6-13 as a navigational reference, directing them to the underlying CFR sections—such as 24 CFR 880.608, 884.115, and related citations—that set the actual requirements for collecting, holding, earning interest on, and refunding security deposits. Compliant operators generally maintain written policies and accounting records that align with each of those cited regulations across all three topic areas. Reviewing the full set of CFR provisions listed in § 6-13 is a standard part of preparing for HUD management reviews or audits.

Tenants living in HUD-assisted housing can look to HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 6-13 to identify which federal regulations protect their security deposit rights, covering collection, interest accrual, and refund procedures. If a landlord's handling of a security deposit appears inconsistent with the CFR provisions catalogued in § 6-13, tenants may have grounds to raise that concern with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or through a formal complaint process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with HUD-assisted housing can help explain how these cited regulations apply in practice.
