Yes, in most areas the rental owner can charge tenants amounts in excess of the security deposit. Some local laws prevent this. So if you destroyed something or did major violations of occupancy rules, yes, quite likely that you will have to pay. Most landlords will be tough talking about suits and possible criminal charges, but honestly most will negotiate with you to some extent.
Yes, a landlord in Connecticut can charge first, last, and a security deposit to renter.
That depends on the laws of the state. In Massachusetts, a pet deposit is a security deposit, and the total security deposit cannot be more than one month's rent.
In most states you cannot charge a security deposit higher than the amount of one month's rent. But I don't know specifically about Texas.
Yes, a landlord can charge for damages caused by a cat if they are beyond normal wear and tear. This can include scratches on furniture, soiled carpets, or other types of damage. The cost of repairs or cleaning can be deducted from the security deposit.
(DATE) Dear (Landlord's Name), I am writing to dispute deductions taken from my security deposit. # The holes in the walls from the pictures I hung are normal wear and tear. Money for spackling cannot be taken from my security deposit. # The charge for cleaning the rug is too high. I realize it was our fault for staining it. However, you are charging too much. It should not cost more than $XXX. Therefore, I believe that we are entitled to another $XXX returned from our deposit. If we do not settle this, I am willing to go to Small Claims Court over this matter. Sincerely, Name(s) Former tenants at: (previous address) Current address:
Yes, I believe so. The security deposit is limited to 2 month's rent which is pretty much what you are asking about.
Good question: a landlord has the right to use the same tenant selection criteria as he would for anyone who is not on section 8. Consequently, the landlord may charge a security deposit if he accepts you. In the case of public housing, they may also charge a deposit but quite often times that doesn't happen.
Usually a deposit is not required. All the company will want is a valid debit/credit card. They will place an open charge on this.
td does offer security boxes in various sizes. there is a charge for this service.
Most states have a statute which limits the amount of a security deposit, usually to one month's rent.
All 50 states allow renters to be charged a security deposit when renting. The amount is left up to the discretion of the landlord, but typically it is equal to the first month's rent.
Depends on the state
