Questions Fréquentes
How much can I charge for a security deposit?
It varies by state. Some states have no limit, while others cap at 1-2 months rent. California caps at 1 month for unfurnished and 2 months for furnished units. Check your local laws.
When must I return the deposit?
Most states require return within 14-30 days after moveout, along with an itemized list of any deductions. Failure to comply can result in penalties, sometimes double or triple the deposit amount.
Can I use the deposit for unpaid rent?
Most states allow landlords to apply security deposits to unpaid rent, damages beyond normal wear and tear, and cleaning costs. Always document the condition with photos at move-in and move-out.
