Of course, they can! It is their property. The funds go into escrow to be used for that purpose only. Make sure you complete a walk through list when you first move in. When you move out, take your copy of the list and walk through the apartment with them. Many of them charge for loose electrical outlets, dings on doors and other ridiculous charges if you do not attend the the walkthough at the end. Make sure you keep up with the maintenance of the place and document your requests.

∙ 11y agoThe landlord may use the security deposit to compensate for unpaid rent.
What you are asking is slightly different.
You are asking if you can not pay the final month's rent on the date you promised.
I believe the answer is no.
At that point, you would be in breach of the lease.
The best thing to do is ask the landlord for permission to do this.
If he/she agrees, then you can.

Can you pay a security deposit then move in and prorate later in the month ie Pay security deposit on the first to secure the home then move in on the middle of the month and pro rate?
NO. A security deposit is equal to one, one and a half or two months rent as regulated by your state Landlord Tenant Law, according to RentLaw.com . It depends on the landlord. Most companies will be happy to do this for you. Know that it is illegal for landlords to charge "double rent" on an apartment (having two parties paying rent for the same unit). Some landlords will try and pro-rate the last month rather than the first month. Be leery of this, but if you must accept it, get it in writing, make sure it's included in your lease agreement, and keep a copy in a place where you can find it. You shouldn't have any problem doing what you're describing, as long as you stick to your move-in date. Landlords get nervous when people push moving in back more than a few days.

Is it legal for a landlord to break his lease and evict his tenant?
Will your lease be up then? As I understand the state laws, a landlord may terminate a month-to-month lease agreement for any reason if he/she gives you at least 30 days' notice. However, a landlord may not evict you or terminate a lease early unless you're not paying rent or have in some way violated your agreement. I'd talk to my attorney first, but I think I'd end up letting him try to evict me in court if this is going to be his approach to renting to people. If the landlord tells you 30 days before the lease ends that he's moving in at the end of the lease, then you'll want to move out. Again, this is my sense after reading our state landlord-tenant law, however I'm not an attorney and you may want to consult one before tackling this on your own.
What is the most popular finishing double in darts?
A lot of people like the double-16 because if you miss on the inside, you're still on a double, and if you miss the double-8 on the inside, you're on double-4, and so on with the double-2 and double-1. I've heard that referred to as walking the dog.

How long can your landlord hold your security deposit in the state of California?
landlords can charge you what ever they want (with out a lease) ... its your wellness to pay that sets the tone ...Answer:The person who wrote the above"answer" is clearly not informed about landlord tenant law. First, in California, everything you pay EXCEPT for the 1st month's rent is considered a deposit. It does not matter what it is called. It does not matter what is on the lease agreement. Anything over the 1st month's rent is a deposit. The maximum deposit the landlord can request is double the rent. So if he asks for first, last and a deposit, he is really asking for double the rent as a deposit. This is legal. However, if the rent is $2,000 and the landlord asks for first, last and a $4,000 deposit, that is illegal.
What if your landlord doesn't return security deposit within 30 days?
Per the Ohio revised code: the landlord has 30 days to make a claim for damages, if he does not than he must return the deposit within that 30 days and if he refuses hire an attorney because the landlord is responsible to pay his attorney and yours plus double the deposit $750 becomes $1,500.
Where you can complain about your landlord?
This depends on the type of complaint you're alleging. Start with a complaint to the landlord themselves, in many jurisdictions you're required to give prompt notice to defects in the apartment, especially ones that can cause further damage (no heat, gas, water, roof leakages, etc). If after a reasonable period of time (can be a matter of a day or two weeks depending on the issue and how quickly it can be fixed) the landlord does not correct the defects you can contact your local housing court to find out the procedures for a renters escrow. A renters escrow is a bank account you open with the courts and deposit in your rent monies. The landlord does not get the money from this account until he shows that the repairs have been made satisfactorily. Landlords will face a penalty for the courts having to take this action. If after a period prescribed by your local housing court the landlord does not correct the defects, the court can order the house to be inspected by local code enforcement and subsequently condemned if necessary. In the mean time, the court will grant you permission to quit your lease and seek new shelter. At this point you should follow all standard move out protocols. Send your former landlord a certified (green slip) letter with a forwarding address and demand full return of your security deposit for breach of lease. If your landlord fails to claim the monies with the court after a time prescribed by that court, you may return and collect the monies. In addition, If the landlord fails to return your security deposit, in some jurisdictions you may be allowed double damages. (i.e. $500 deposit not returned may be $1000 after court). If the complaint against the landlord is in regards to a breach of lease, you can reversely evict your landlord. Which means you provide them with 30 days notice to quit the lease due to their breach, demand your security deposit back, and leave before the start of the new month. If the landlord keeps the deposit (as many will try), you may take them to small claims court and seek your security deposit back (in some states you can get double or treble!).

Should damage to linoleum be deducted from deposit after 4.5 years?
It depends on the type and severity of the damage... however, scratches, dings, etc should be written off as normal wear and tear. If you are charged for them and they are cosmetic and not of a severe nature take the letter your landlord is required by law to send you if he withholds any of your security deposit and file for a judge to review it. Makes SURE you take pictures of the ENTIRE apartment, any damages, dings, etc. Your best bet is to take pictures of the damage and then video tape the walls, floors, insides of cabinets etc. It will also prove whether or not you have cleaned the unit up prior to vacating. IF the landlord does not issue you a letter and a partial deposit back or issues you no letter and no deposit back within a certain time frame you are entitled to (in some states ONLY) double and/or triple your deposit back if the judge rules in your favor (which he would have to if the landlord didn't get the letter to you within the time frame necessary in your state- usually 30-60 days)

"Landlord won't send no one to check it?" So the landlord is sending someone? If so what is the problem? I suspect you need to watch your double negatives.
