Security Deposit Calculation

Security deposits protect landlords against property damage and unpaid rent.

Formula

Security Deposit = Monthly Rent x Multiplier

Total Upfront = Security Deposit + Pet Deposit + First Month Rent

Legal Limits

  • Many states cap security deposits at 1-2 months rent
  • Some jurisdictions require deposits be held in interest-bearing accounts
  • Returns must be made within a set period after moveout (typically 14-30 days)
  • Esempio Risolto

    $2,000/month rent with a deposit of 1x monthly rent and no pet deposit.

    1. Security deposit: $2,000 x 1 = $2,000
    2. Total deposits: $2,000 + $0 = $2,000
    3. Total upfront with first month: $2,000 + $0 + $2,000 = $4,000
