In most cases, yes. That is the purpose of a deposit- to pay for holding a property for you. There are a few circumstances where your deposit would be returned, but usually not. A DAMAGE deposit should be returned. If you have a written lease, read the lease to see what it says.

If you put down a deposit for an apartment does that secure the monthly rent the apartment complex told you it would be?

Your monthly rent should be secured once you sign your renters agreement. Some agreements have clauses saying they may be able to increase your rent based on changing credit scores, or other things. And I'm hoping you signed this contract before giving them your deposit. So yes, by the time you give them your deposit, your rent should be secured.

Do I have to refund a deposit on a deal gone bad?

A deposit may be either refundable or nonrefundable, depending on the wording used in the contract. Read the contract, if it states that the deposit is nonrefundable then you won't refund it. Otherwise you will likely have to refund the deposit, as the absence of a nonrefundability clause is usually taken to imply that the deposit was refundable. If there was no written contract it might just be best to refund it to avoid an argument and remember to use a written contract with an explicit nonrefundability clause in it next time if you want to avoid refunding the deposit.


Are security deposit refundable?

Why do apartment managers charge more when people have bad credit?

They might ask for an extra deposit or an extra month's rent because people with low credit scores have a higher risk of defaulting on the contract (not paying rent or leaving the apartment before the contract is up). Because of the higher risk, they might charge more up front, but they shouldn't be charging you a higher rental rate in general.
