Escrow account for security deposit. Who collects the interest and who pays taxes on the interest?
answered on Jan 18, 2023
The bank where the escrow will be opened requires a W-9. No W-9, no account. NJ law requires that a tenant's security deposit be placed in an interest bearing account. The interest earned is split between the tenant and landlord.
