Victoria Smith, operations manager at SafeDeposits Scotland, said: "Although there is a high level of unclaimed deposits across the country, there are clear regional disparities.
"At first glance the figure for unclaimed deposits may appear high, but in the last 12 months we proactively sought out tenants who were due their money back and returned over £445,000.
"If a tenancy runs smoothly with no deductions at the end of the lease, the tenant may be due the full deposit back.
"There really is no need for deposits to go unclaimed. The process is straightforward and we have a team of helpful staff on hand to provide support to those who need it.
