If it is not mentioned in the lease, but is mentioned in said policies or rules, then yes, but if it isnt, he cant.
In the UK, no. Landlords can't require anything monetary unless it's written into the lease. It could be added to the lease then signed immediately beside the request by both parties to ensure the addition to the lease was with both parties' agreement.
It would not make sense for a landlord to require a 'pet deposit', because if the pet were to damage anything or replacement of carpet was required at the end of the tenancy, that would be covered by the deposit itself, which is what it's there for. There's no need for an additional deposit from any angle -unless your pet is an elephant and liable to cause more damage than the deposit will be able to cover.
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.
In some states the lease must be honored by the new landlord, while in others the new landlord may be free to make whatever changes he wants, such as collect more money for deposit.
This depends on the terms of your lease. Normally breaking a lease for any reason is grounds for the landlord to keep your deposit. If there are valid grounds for breaking the lease and the landlord keeps your deposit you can sue him for the amount he kept.
If It States In The Lease That He Can. If It Isn`t Written That He Can, Take Him To Court,
No. You mother's illness is not your landlord's fault.
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.
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.

Yes! Your landlord can require anything he wants in the lease.
Seems to me, it depends. If the lease states that, in the event the parties agree to vacate the lease, the landlord can keep the deposit, then he probably can. But, a better rule is to ask if the landlord experienced a financial loss. If the tenant pays for January, then leaves January 15, and the landlord rents the place for February, then he has seen no loss, and should return the deposit.
As a tenant, if the landlord wishes to break their own lease, you have the right to seek damages just as they would if you had broken your lease. The usual outcome for a landlord to break a lease is that the landlord forfeits any right to retain the security deposit.
The landlord has many responsibilities under the law. Whether they are spelled out in the lease or not doesn't change that. The lease can add responsibilities for the landlord.
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.
To add someone to your lease, you need to check your lease agreement and consult your landlord or property management. Typically, this involves completing a rental application, undergoing a background and credit check, and signing an amendment to the lease. The landlord may require the new tenant to meet certain qualifying criteria and may also revise the terms of the lease, such as the rent amount and security deposit.
In many states this is allowable; in many it's not. If your landlord is asking for more deposit then it's up to you whether you want to rent the unit under this new condition. Remember, unless you move out and have caused damage, your landlord has to refund you your deposit-- and all of it. Any damages for which they have provided receipts for repairs must be presented to you, in most states, within 30 days of your departure.
In a situation like this, this depends on what the lease says the landlord can deduct from the security deposit. Most landlords will charge a fee for cleaning the unit after the tenant leaves, unless the unit is cleaned by the tenant, to the satisfaction of landlord.
If the tenant broke the lease via a material breach, the tenant may forfeit his security deposit. However, if the landlord has breached the lease, he must return the full security deposit.
