New landlords think they will take these fees out of the tenant deposit.  

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

The tenant was seeking $14k for security deposit and furniture that was left in the property.

Once Apartments.com is going the money comes without much thought. i check on the first to see that the transaction has initiated then again on the eighth to see that the money deposited.

You’ll get a statement around the 7th-10th of the month and a deposit the next day or two.

Here's the deal: You don't need to withdraw and return the current security deposit just to collect the additional $100.

Once you have cash in hand, you can unlock the unit for 24 hours and let him move his stuff out.I would also consider charging an additional deposit of $500 or something, just to prevent him from leaving all the trash or stealing your refrigerator.

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

Most PM software allows late fees to be charged.Ours allows us to absorb the cost of tenants paying electronically thru the software - it usually wants to charge tenants, but we want them to pay electronically.We manually charge tenants a Processing Fee for mailing in their rent, a slightly lower Processing Fee for depositing to our bank.Your success will depend on the Class of your tenants.

I have got the security deposit as well .Please see your post… It says nothing about being rented and asked if you should take down the listing.
