The standard time limit is usually 90 days. The landlord's accountant would most likely like to close the books on that particular month, but can't, because there is still an outstanding check ... just cash or deposit it soon ... everyone will be happy, especially you as you will have extra money to spend right now.
Most checks are good for sixty days or more. Give him a call and make sure it isn't lost. Often just that question will spur people to get the check to the bank. In any case, leave enough money in the account to cover the check.
security deposits protect the landlord if the tenant fails to pay rent or causes damage to the rental premises beyond normal wear and tear. a renter can not choose to pay rent with any portion of that deposit.
A security deposit is an advanced deposit that is generally retained by the landlord during your tenancy. The landlord is obligated to return such deposit within 30 days with interest earned, if any, and/or an itemized list of expenses for which the landlord is offsetting the deposit amount (for which he wants to keep some or all of the deposit). The laws regulating such deposit varies between states under the Landlord/Tenant laws of that state.
Most states require the landlord to place the deposit in an interest-bearing account, protected from his creditors.
Yes he can. It depends on the degree of damage done. A landlord shouldn't keep the deposit to paint if only usual wear and tear have occured. However, putting nail or pin holes may be enough for the landlord to justify keeping the deposit for damage beyong normal, permitted use.
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.
A landlord will keep a security deposit if the condition of the rental property was damaged by the occupant in some manner. The security deposit is to cover the expenses of repairing the rental property after the tenant has moved out of the premises.
Yes they can charge pet deposit even if there are no carpets. They still pee on floors, and on walls
This would depend on the landlord. If you landlord says yes to this, which I seriously doubt. Then obviously when you moved out you wouldn't get it back. Talk to the landlord about your situation. Maybe something can be worked out.
Your state laws should have a section about "landlord and tenant" or the like. There are also many self-help books available about landlord/tenant laws. In Massachusetts, for example, the law defines both a security deposit and a damage deposit and ONLY the security deposit can be applied to delinquent rent, and the damage deposit remains the property of the tenant until the landlord proves damage to the premises and the costs to repair them.
A new landlord has to have received the security deposit from the old landlord during the process of the closure of the sale of the property. The new landlord is responsible for that security deposit.

Non refundable deposit means that the deposit will NOT be refunded to you at any time in the future after you make the non refundable deposit.
It would be part of the payment for whatever the deposit is on. If you don't buy or use what the deposit is on, it is not refunded.

No. In the estoppel that your old landlord signs to the new landlord the security deposit is turned over to the new landlord, who keeps the deposit where it is now, or tells you where your deposit will be located.
In the State of Maryland, a landlord has 45 days from the date a residential tenant vacates the premises to return any security deposit, minus any deductions for damage. Within 30 days of the date the tenant vacates, the landlord must notify the tenant in writing of any damage deductions being taken from the security deposit. If a landlord fails to return any portion of the security deposit rightly owed to the tenant, the tenant can sue the landlord for up to three times the amount of the security deposit that was wrongly withheld, plus attorney fees. Maryland has many online legal self-help resources on landlord-tenant law and other subjects. For a directory of these resources, visit the Maryland Courts Self-Help Directory related link.
