If you dropped into the PO on a Friday afternoon after pickup, it would not be postmarked until the next business day. The tenant would not have received it any sooner. No different than when you main in your taxes.

As always, when in Court, you need to prepare for both outcomes. If it was shorting a tenant out of a 3/5/10/30 day notice, that is different. The tenant is not harmed in any way. No way the tenant would win. They would probably be chastised for even bringing it up.

It would be prudent to not put yourself into the situation where it's left up to the whim of a judge. Judges in a lot of states are very tenant friendly. They expect the landlords to adhere to the laws regarding security deposits. If it was put into the mailbox after mail pickup on a Friday then IT IS STILL LATE. It should be been mailed any time within the 21 days required by law. Late is still late no matter how you try to spin it, Eric.
