Collect a security deposit sufficient to cover lost rent and/or damage, as well as the firstmonth rent. 10.

Getting a written statement from them will take time, as well as depositing some cash I have on hand.2.

We did not return the deposit - when we added the damage, unpaid rent, broken window issue and late fee on rent - it exceeded the amount of the deposit.2.

-Section 8 tenants tend to follow the rules or risk losing their voucher-If a Section 8 tenant damages your rental (and the deposit doesn't cover it) you can get a judgement and if you provide the Section 8 office with the judgement they will require the tenant to pay it before he/she/they can move into a different Section 8 property-Section 8 tenants tend to move less than typical tenants (especially if your property is halfway decent as most Section 8 properties in my market are in bad areas of town)-In my market, a Section 8 unit isn't inspected by the city because the Housing Authority inspects it yearly.

Also you are entitled to get the security deposits at closing.

If so, where will they be deposited?

They are still threatening to keep our deposit, the whole 950.00.Can you understand the frustration?

Long story shore tenant damaged laminate countertop. I can repair it with a sort of patch system but it will not be exactly the same due to the separate manufacturing of the laminate that is in place and the laminate ...

I always now require proof of insurance as well as switched to collecting a nonrefundable move in fee VS security deposit. 

If you have a gap then then no return of deposit.
