The lender of the shorted shares can request that the shares be returned by the investor at any time, with minimal notice, but this rarely happens in practice so long as the short seller keeps paying their margin interest.

Can I short sell in a cash account?

You can’t sell short. You can only sell a security in a cash account if the security is held in the account, or your broker accepts in good faith a representation that you own the security (and have paid for it in full)—and that it will be promptly deposited in your cash account.
