So in this instance can the prospective tenant still be charged a non-refundable pet deposit and a monthly fee?  

First of the complaint states that 1/2 of the security deposit was unreasonably withheld. 

Then as expenses occur or as deposits are made you can set up rules for it to automatically book the entry into the accounting ledger.You can also issue customized invoices to your tenants out of the software, and when you do it automatically keeps track of your receivables.You can also manage contacts (vendors, contractors, plumbers, etc) and attach supporting documents directly to the related transactions in the system to keep organized.Very user friendly, very intuitive, and VERY affordable.

This will give you standing in the eviction matter. 2) Obtain a copy of leases and a ledger of any security deposit, etc.

- require payment of assignment fee at closing and take a deposit at assignment.

I am thinking of moving accounts and have been thinking about the good and the bad.It seems credit unions are more comfortable with creating a line of credit based on personal credit (me being guarantor) whereas a bank can establish a line of credit based on deposits/investments/cash held in lieu.What do you prefer and why?

I've been offered  3 times the rent, 6 mos up front and a larger deposit.  

Jose S.He might just be a noob.Roll with it, tell him he gets a cashier's check in the form of an earnest money deposit to the escrow account when/if he accepts your offer to purchase, should you decide that you'd like to offer. 

So the hold is key and should go toward security deposit.

I could understand variance with even +/- 10%, but 22% seems malicious to me.My agent said I can either bow out and try to fight for my earnest deposit or try to lobby for a reassessment but some internet research tells me that sellers usually tell buyers to f-- off.
