Please help me out if I could deduct the followings from the security deposit :1.

Consider 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.

Keep a larger security deposit and demand that the property be delivered back in perfect shape.7.  

. - Collect rent every way possible including letting tenants deposit cash into a bank account.

This way if the tenant comes back and argues a deposit or lease amount, you or the tenant has some recourse against the seller.

When she finally moved out the damage cost was $5500, exceeding her security deposit by $3,250.  

I l like to make my deposit on their website and then call on the phone or send an email to place my order.There lists are very accurate.

Quote from @Devin James: @Jay Hinrichs Developments are definitely BIG money makers, but thats also reflected with the risk associated.That's why these projects take so much time and capital, but if you make the right judgements for project selection, and do all your due diligence, it'll turn out well. my 90 home project in Oregon  started it as dirt before covid .. got 1st phase built then covid hit.. had to fight through lumber sky rocketing and other material shortages and the of course interest rate spikes.. but the project ( and I give credit to my Wife and my GC's attention to detail) has sold Very well for record prices and profits .. its de risked now 22 lots left 13 are presold with big non refundable deposits and only 9 lots left that have no debt..

They may "forget" to tell you that the tenant paid a double deposit, and then not transfer that deposit to you at closing.Your offer to purchase should include a requirement that the Seller provide all documentation and agree to sign an estoppel certificate (also called an estoppel form or agreement).

.- Im thinking of not charging security deposit because of all the strict MA laws and just using the last months rent as a sort of security deposit, thoughts?
