Yes, I believe so.
The security deposit is limited to 2 month's rent which is pretty much what you are asking about.
Yes, essentially.
As I understand it, the limit on the security deposit is two month's rent (San Jose at least) which is approximately what you describe.
I plan on living in Colombia SA for six months a year and then six months use. Will social security direct deposit my funds to Colombia SA?
Yes you can. Your landlord cannot use your last month's rent as security deposit and vice versa.
First and last months security deposit is given so the landlord has a means of repairing any damage you might do to the house. It encourages the renter to take care of the property in order to get their deposit back.
only if that is agreeable with landlord. A lease agreement without a lease is a verbal lease. Your last month's rent is not a security deposit.
The average deposit for apartment rentals in NYC is oen months rent and one months security deposit. If obtaining the apratment through a Realtor, one months rental equivalent may be due as commission as well.
It is very common for a landlord/rental agency to require first and last months rent and a security/damage deposit. Check local/state renters laws to ensure your rights.
212 months is a long time to be demanding the return of the security deposit, so the statute of limitations of your state may have already expired. Assuming it hasn't, you have the right to sue you for landlord for the recovery of the security deposit. In most states the landlord must return your security deposit within 30 days of your vacation from the premises or automatically forfeit it, unless within the same period of time he submits to you an itemized bill for any damages that incurred beyond normal wear and tear.
I think he can since he is new. Did you get back your deposit from the original landlord? I would try to get it or find out where the money went. The money could have been handed over to the new landlord or landlord 1 kept it. You may be able to sue him in small claims court for your deposit.
Under the Tenant Security Deposit Act, a landlord of a residential rental property can collect a security deposit of 2 weeks' rent if the tenancy is week to week, 1 1/2 months' rent if the tenancy is month to month, or 2 months' rent if the tenancy period is greater than month to month (such as a yearly tenancy). The Act also allows the landlord to ask for a "reasonable" non-refundable pet deposit.

To move into a dwelling, the landlord is going to generally ask you for the first month's rent, a security deposit, and often times the last months rent. Every state has its own rules about this and you should check with it. In South Carolina and Florida your security deposit may not exceed one month's rent. And in both states that security deposit may not be used as rent unless you and the landlord mutually agree.
Normally not: a security deposit cannot be used as last month's rent, nor vice versa, without mutual agreement.
