Each area has its own rules on how it works, but basically, you buy the house, pay a deposit and agree to rehab the house within a certain amount of time.

You can also request a security deposit for extra peace of mind. 

Some landlords report that it regularly takes around six months to start receiving direct deposits from the government.

I had a deposit on a Cirrus Jet and that was driving me to attain more income as owning a Jet is a 200k minimum a year expense.

The state doesn’t have rent control laws, but landlords are prohibited from collecting more than one month’s rent for security deposits.

Yes, if you know the lenders who do not care about seasoning, no if you do not or get the money and season it so the deposit can't be seen.Now, that is a nightmare scenario and let me tell you why. 

I suspect all security deposit need to go to the owner or a new PM..

What ********.1) spent $250 for 60 days notice of termination to tenant back in July (stating owner will move back in October and take house off the rental market; within the laws and does not violate covid non-payment); also tenant rekeyed house back in April, in direction violation of lease agreement2) October comes and tenant still there, providing statement of covid hardship and states she doesn't have the financial means to move and will be staying put3) spent $1600 to eviction attorney to proceed with the serving in October4) tenant's attorney replied back on 12/1/2020 stating to give them a 60 day extension so they will be out end of January (to which I agree to)4) finally got a case number (trial is set for Monday, December 21) which happened yesterday; but now they are continuing to bull **** (the nerve of them to ask for one month security deposit back and I should forgive them of all debt and not pursue small claims court if they move out by Feb 1)5) I told my attorney ********, no way are they getting anything back from me and I will pursue small claims court for all back-rent owed plus property damage plus all legal fees6) so the trial continues and will re-convene back on 1/21/2020What a load of crap.

Also the Voucher doesn't cover the security deposit which in most cases, I have to put my S8 tenants on a security deposit payment plan for those to get them qualified to move-in on my applications.

.: I don't charge deposits for animals because deposits are fully refundable.
