The reason for this email is that we need to schedule a call with a representative about our direct deposits to our bank account, we keep having the same problem every month.

We did give 50k deposit up front which he says he will use towards finishing up.

It saved me when things got real (hello, crazy boyfriend with trust issues).Security Deposit: Non-NegotiableOne full month of rent as a security deposit (at the very least!)

All things being equal, I would accept these applicants, but I would require them to pay a deposit equal to two months of rent.

Each jurisdiction is different, but typically include a substantial deposit due same day up to full price deposited that day. 

PM's will keep all late fees, they hold the security deposits so they collect all the interest on security deposits. 

Most will be happy to accept the check and deposit them for you.

Property manager (PM) 's lawyer continued the case to get the unpaid rent from the tenant.PMA between landlord and property manager(PM) has also expired so landlord got the property back , but when landlord requested to settle the account and the deposit( there is one month deposit from landlord also), PM refuses since the lawsuit is going on with the tenant, Additionally PM is still charging the monthly property management fees from landlord even though landlord is managing the property.Landlord is done dealing with PM and requested the PM to withdraw the lawsuit against the tenant ( landlord is aware that he will loose 2 months rent), PM came back saying they cannot withdraw the lawsuit since that will violate fair housing law.QUESTION:Does withdrawing unpaid rent case against the tenant violate fair housing law ?

You can't beat the price, either, or the interest rate on deposits.

Hope you don't put down large earnest money deposits... these guys will make sure you lose them!
