Your property listing can also be a great way to lay out qualifying criteria (i.e credit score minimum, and require a co-signer if lower).After conducting due diligence into a particular tenants situation, and you decided to proceed with an application approval, you could require a higher security deposit. 

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

*Tenant payments via ACH not deposited into a Baselane Banking account will incur a $2 fee.

Yes, I’m using TheGuarantors platform for long term and Waivo for midterm and short term tenants instead of a traditional deposit. 

Personally, I would keep the deposit out of the conversation.

At least a bank that you have your relationship with and super strong deposits  and could probably hypothicate them and get a under 10% rate.. just musing..

Think of 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.

I hope your PM kept the deposit and can use that towards the cost.

I usually charge a pet deposit and monthly fee, but from my limited research, believe I cannot charge for a service animal. 

I thought about resubmitting with a small non-refundable deposit.
