Security Deposit

We charge one months rent for the security deposit. The security deposit is required to hold the property until you are ready to move in. Before you move in, you must also pay the first month's rent.

Your security deposit maybe used for any cleaning or repairs necessary to restore the rental property to its condition at the beginning of the tenancy. We will not use the your security deposit to cover the costs of ordinary wear and tear. Here are examples of wear and tear versus damage or excessive filth:

We use a Landlord - Tenant Assessment of Rental Property form when a tenant moves in and moves out of our rental property to assess the condition of the property, to help determine how much deposit is returned to the tenant. You will receive either your full deposit or a partial refund with an itemized accounting of the deductions taken from it within 30 days after you have moved out.

  • The following may be deducted from your security deposit.
    • cost of repairs
    • cost of necessary cleaning
