I'm no lawyer but...

There is a general principle that all deposits demanded by a landlord must be 100% refundable.

The deposits may be used for legitimate expenses, such as damage done by the pet, but if it's not refundable, it's not a deposit, it's a fee.

Tenants have a right to know what repairs or cleaning are required to get their deposit back and they have a right to do that work.

If they fail to do it, then charges can be subtracted from the deposit.

Is a non refundable deposit legal?

Is a deposit on a used car refundable?

A deposit on a used car may or may not be refundable, depending on the terms agreed upon with the seller. Typically, if the deposit is non-refundable, it means the buyer forfeits it if they decide not to proceed with the purchase. However, if the seller agrees to a refundable deposit, the buyer can get their money back if they do not complete the transaction. Always clarify the terms before making a deposit to avoid misunderstandings.
