How can a landlord keep my security deposit if don't move in?
It's quite simple: once the lease is mutually signed, something that is normally done after a security deposit has been paid, then the tenant is considered to have legal custody of the property or dwelling. If at that point the tenant does not move in, the security deposit can be kept. This is because the apartment has been rented out and if at the last minute the tenant decides not to move in, then the landlord has to try to rent out the apartment, which may remain vacant until this happens. It should also be noted that the tenant would also be responsible for any rent of the apartment while the apartment is still vacant and up to the remainder of the lease term.

Does a tenant lose their security deposit if the landlord sells the property?
No, not simply by virtue of a sale of the property. However, the tenant must take the necessary steps to safeguard their deposit. Security deposits are a complicated issue and state and local laws may vary regarding how they are to be managed. The tenant should always make sure to obtain a receipt for the security deposit at the beginning of their tenancy and keep that proof in a safe place.Generally, a security deposit is supposed to be kept by the landlord in a separate account during the tenancy. When the tenant moves, the security deposit can be used to repair any extraordinary damage to the property apart from normal wear and tear. If the landlord wants to keep the deposit, they must provide a detailed accounting to the tenant that lists any damage and the cost to make the repairs and provide that statement within a certain time period, typically 30 days. If the landlord fails to follow state law then the tenant will be granted 2 to 3 times the original amount as a refund if they take the case to small claims court.When a leased property is sold and the tenant plans to remain in the rental they should discuss the security deposit with the departing landlord and make certain it is turned over to the tenant or the new landlord. They should obtain a receipt that documents this changeover.If you have further questions you should contact your local landlord/tenant agency.

Will not pay rent no security and numerous breakins?
This depends upon what you mean by "no security." When a landlord rents to you, you have the right to live in a decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling. If you move into the property and find that any of these components are deficient, you have the right to move out and break your lease under the constructive eviction clause. Keep in mind that your landlord may try to keep your security deposit because of this, and may hold you responsible for any unpaid rents until he rents out the unit again or until the lease expires, whichever comes first. If the landlord takes you into court and/or keeps your security deposit, you may make a counter claim for any money he has taken from you, and may present the defense that the conditions were unsafe for you to remain in the dwelling. Now, be aware, that as long as you remain a tenant on the property, you have a legal obligation to pay the rent or be evicted. There is no legal excuse for nonpayment of rent.
