I have noticed the on the S and P agreement with the seller and the wholesaler (me) states the price the seller will be paid for their property, as well as a earnest money deposit.

The terms are looking like "an assignment with $5K earnest deposit, and possibly $63900 with 21 days to close".Can someone else check this out and tell me what you think?

We have only once needed to retain a security deposit and that was because the tenant "bugged out" early to catch a flight home for a family emergency.

I have always allowed pets with a non refundable deposit.  

Bank statements can also show deposits, though sources aren't always identified.  

I told them if I can fill without vacancy I would not hold their deposit except for damages. 

So tenants applying to live in a condo are told from the start that there will be another application process, interview, and the association's own security deposit (in 2 of our 5 complexes).

Initially he agreed to pay us the $1,000 he owed us (repairs - security deposit).

The other 3 were month to month and left willingly without trouble once noticed since I allowed a month longer than the minimum notice period, offered a small amount to help with relocation expenses, and returned 100% of security deposits.

Take the maximum security deposit.
