A written request from the landlord alone, as the bond is held for the landlord's benefit
B
Automatically 14 days after the tenancy ends, if no one has objected to release
C
A release form signed by all the parties, a Commissioner's decision, or a court order
D
The agent's confirmation that the final inspection has been completed
