NEVER allow a tenant to move in without paying at the security deposit AND the first month's rent. 

I rented so I could buy real estate in other markets...but that's a story for another post) After I moved out I got a portion of my security deposit back but was told that, after reviewing my account, I didn't pay rent during some month "years ago" however they have not told me which month/year.

I'm off to a good start with these rentals--I ran background checks on my tenants, collected a full month's security deposit, setup online bill pay and have good tenants who are paying on time.  

In the agreement, the tenant agrees that the unpaid prorated rent may be used to cover the cost of damages, in addition to the security deposit.Quit And Vacate Early Termination Of Lease.
