And all the folks that could never get a deal to close and lost their deposit to them and EM etc etc..

Renter's Insurance is a cheap date for the tenant; it protects their security deposit and assets. 

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

I am looking into a company right now that does rent guarantee insurance and also does in lieu of deposit will issue a bond that the tenant basically gets charged a monthly fee for.

Our lease contains a clause stating the security deposit cannot be used for the last month's rent. 3.

You will receive the security deposit in Checking but then transfer it to Savings.Savings: Hold the deposit here so it's separate from operating funds.

As a PMC, we allow tenants to:1) Mail in rent (we charge a Processing Fee)2) Deposit at our bank (we charge a Processing Fee, but less than the mailing one)3) Use Zelle, Venmo, etc. 

Did you collect a pet deposit?

Large deposits are nice, but very difficult to actually get access to escrow funds in the event of default.

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.
