The security deposit is returned: after the lease ends; the tenant moves out; and the landlord inspects the apartment. The landlord has the right to deduct any necessary cleaning and/or repairs to the apartment in order to ready it for a new tenant, but nothing to improve the apartment (for example, adding an air conditioner or dishwasher where none existed; replacing carpeting with hardwood flooring) beyond the condition in which it was leased. Depending on the condition of he apartment, the landlord may not refund any of the security deposit. Your best bet is to thoroughly clean the apartment and patch any holes/damage created during the lease. Optimally, you would have taken photos the day you moved in to prove the condition of the apartment as received.
Could take up to 30 days, especially if there is a corporate office that makes such payments. I had to sue my landlord in small claims court to get it back - took 4 months, but won the case.
In Massachusetts, each year, within 30 days of the anniversary of the move-in. check the law of your state.
At the time of the lease signing.
As long as you get your security deposit back, it doesn't matter how he gives it back to you.
A security deposit is a refundable deposit that a tenant pays to their landlord before they move into a property As long as a tenant abides by the terms of their lease, this deposit should be returned to a tenant when their lease has expired. There are certain situations where a landlord is allowed to keep all or part of a tenant's security deposit.
No. You can keep the security deposit because you could not seek another renter while you were holding it for her.
Signing the lease and paying the security deposit are two separate issues. Furthermore, if you don't pay the security deposit then you could be in violation of the lease terms and be evicted if the landlord chooses. Normally you pay the security deposit before you and your landlord sign the lease, or work out a payment plan that you and your landlord agree to. If your landlord agreed to allow you to skip the security deposit then that part of the lease is waived and the rest of the lease stands.
Normally a security deposit is paid before the lease is signed. Once your lease is mutually signed then you have the right to move in.
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.
Most states consider a pet deposit to be the same as a security deposit. In states that limit the amount of a security deposit, collecting both would be a violation of the law.
security deposit from what? try asking again but more detailed
Yes! If the back rent and repairs are less than the deposit you have to give them the remainder of the deposit. But you could always makeup some bullcrap fee to eat up the rest of it like most landlords do.
The Social Security benefits. Deposit, accompanied by the service code 310 gives the benefactor an indication that the deposit was a special circumstance deposit. This type of deposit is usually an one time deposit.
If your landlord accepted the security deposit from you he must return to you unless he have legal grounds to keep all or part of the security deposit. I don't think that the loss of your receipt for the security deposit is enough to allow your landlord to keep it. Thus you can sue him.
