I'm a buyer involved in a dispute with my security deposit with a seller.

Manmath,We deal with pets by requiring a non refundable deposit to cover damages.We charge Pet Rent per animal on top of the regular rate.you may have missed the opportunity to do either of these at this point.If the dog is damaging your property, then give them some choices:Get rid of the dog, or move out.Control/contain the animal or pay for any future damages.We have a list of dog breeds that our insurance co. will not allow on the premise, this is a good way to limit some dangerous breeds.

@Courtney Duong you could try and get more upfront rent from him, or a fat deposit, if you can.

I will be returning home with a nice amount of money saved with the intention of investing it, however I will also need to get myself a car for obvious reasons. now my big dilemma is which route I should take to allow me the best start to my investing career, the way I see it these are my options.The numbers I will use are purely an example.Option A: I buy an older car outright for £5000 with no ongoing costs Option B: I pay a small deposit of £2000 on a new car and finance the rest at £300 a month for 48 months, owning the asset at the end.Option C: Lease a car for £350 a month with no upfront payment, and give the car back after 48 months and repeat. 

I am being told by Tenant-2 that Tenant-1 has moved back in with his parents (out of state) and he expects to quit paying rent starting in May and he is expecting his full security deposit back. 

It's basically new and $2,000.It seems I can document missing items and deduct them from the deposit in Colorado?

Those commercial tenants that have expressed concerns over rent & cam payments, I've been using an addendum "security deposit towards outstanding balances", where that security deposit will need to be replenished at least 6 months before their lease expiration.

Advise that failure to pay rent will result in eviction when the order is lifted and that the unpaid balance will be deducted from their security deposit as well as assigned to a collection agency.

Where do landlords in Montgomery County, MD keep your tenants' security deposits?

So many things could go worst than current conditions that at this point I'm considering losing my earnest deposit ($3k) in order to protect my cash. deal numbers:purchase price 157karv 280kestimated rent 1800/mmonthly profits after expense: ~$200What would you do in my situation?
