For as much as attorney's charge, they should be able to answer this question.The deposit can be used for cleaning, repairs, and unpaid charges.

It doesn’t have to be occupied by tenants, just a signed lease + deposit.

I do have 1 month of his security deposit but I am not sure the condition of the house.

Quick context: I placed a tenant in one of my units after thorough background checks and collected security deposit + first month's prorated rent via Baselane (bad move!).

Hi Kevin,I have a couple of rentals in Fredericksburg and I allow pets (charging a pet deposit and monthly pet rent to cover damages and wear and tear).

Tell them if they don't, you will take it out of their security deposit and they will have to replenish their deposit.

Did you receive security deposits with interest and pro rata rent for the month at settlement?

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 security deposit should never be used for anything during the lease.

If you have good credit they don't ask for a deposit so it very easy.
