Generally speaking, after the release has been mutually signed, it is in effect, and the terms of it cannot be changed. Once the lease has been signed by both parties and the keys have been turned over to you, the tenant, the dwelling then is considered to be in your possession. As such, the landlord cannot turn around and demand a higher deposit. However, in most states, there is a rule of abandonment: if you have not moved into your dwelling in 15 days, and the rent is due, then the landlord can construe this as abandonment and can take possession of the property immediately without judicial proceedings.

Can a new landlord demand an additional second security deposit of one months rent six months after the original landlord received an initial deposit equivilent to a months rent from a existing tenant?

I think he can since he is new. Did you get back your deposit from the original landlord? I would try to get it or find out where the money went. The money could have been handed over to the new landlord or landlord 1 kept it. You may be able to sue him in small claims court for your deposit.

Can a tenant demand security deposit when moved out owing rent and gave no notice?

If no notice is given, then the tenant owes for the next month, if the landlord tries to rent the unit and cannot. The security deposit can be applied to the arrearage - the landlord needs to write the tenant a letter so stating.


Can a landlord ask for a second deposit after you've signed a lease?

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.

Can a landlord demand carpets to be cleanded 6 months in to the lease. I pd. a 600 Security deposit and they said would evict if the carpets are not cleaned?

If there is a provision on the lease which requires that your carpet be cleaned six months prior to the expiration of the lease, then the landlord has the right to enforce those provisions. Additionally, if the carpet is damaged or dirty because of obvious abuse by the tenant and not the cause of normal wear and tear on the carpet, the landlord has the right to demand that the carpet be cleaned. However, if the carpet was not brand-new, then whatever dirt or damage occurred to it is measured according to wear and tear by the age of the carpet. Carpeting of five years of age or older is usually deemed to have reached its maximum age, for which the landlord has no claim. Finally, the landlord may not keep your entire security deposit simply because you didn't clean the carpet: he can only deduct the cost of cleaning the carpet from the security deposit. I doubt that your landlord can evict you simply because your carpet is dirty. If you have only been in your apartment for six months and your landlord evicts you because the carpet is dirty, then I would take pictures and present them to court to fight your landlord.
