In Rhode Island, a landlord is required to return a pet deposit if the tenant has complied with the lease terms and returned the property in good condition. The pet deposit is typically considered part of the security deposit, which must be returned within 20 days after the tenant vacates the property, minus any deductions for damages beyond normal wear and tear. If the property shows no damages from the pet, the deposit should be fully refunded. Always check the specific lease agreement for additional terms related to pet deposits.
what can a landlord charge to move in a California house rental?
First and last months security deposit is given so the landlord has a means of repairing any damage you might do to the house. It encourages the renter to take care of the property in order to get their deposit back.
Look at the lease agreement. Whoever is listed as the landlord, that is who should return the security deposit.
No. In the estoppel that your old landlord signs to the new landlord the security deposit is turned over to the new landlord, who keeps the deposit where it is now, or tells you where your deposit will be located.

Yes it is required to fill out a rental agreement form to rent a house. Without this agreement the landlord of the house will not let you rent the house unless you fill out the agreement.
As long as the notice is sufficient, and there is no unexpired lease, the landlord can ask a tenant to leave for no reason at all.
This depends on how your lease is written. You may (or may not) lose your deposit but if the landlord finds another renter you won't be responsible for the remaining months of rent you would have to pay until such renter is found.
No, it is not possible to rent your own house to yourself as a rental agreement requires two separate parties, a landlord and a tenant, who are not the same person.
I believe he/she can if there is some kind of written agreement. If this is an illegal apartment then, generally the land lords understand that they have no true legal authority over the deposit. He cant do it because you never lived there. The deposite is to replace anything you break after living in the house.
