Sometimes my PM will lower the deposit or drop the rent a tad, but they are always filled before the month is up.

I've kept the deposit and haven't heard from either in over 2 weeks.  

My accountant deposits checks in the bank, but this is such a waste of time.

They'll only ask you for 2 months of bank statements so the deposit will no longer be on there and you will not have to explain how you got that money. 

Hi Erik and Russel,The website is: https://www.auction.com/, This is a cash transaction with no lien allowed.I am searching for an agent to represent me, however, I have a few hours to submit Earnest Money deposit.

Could I just deposit the proceeds into the S Corp account?

3) Do you have the first month's rent and the deposit?

Be firm but fair with all processes and issues.As a Tenant: keep good records, understand the terms of the lease, thoroughly fill out the move-in report to protect yourself from losing out on deposit money.

According to the ebay listing, it was won on May 9th and there is a three day time limit to provide a $10,000 non-refundable deposit.

If you end up deciding to withhold rent, deposit it into an escrow account, this may help you in court if you can show that you were able to pay, but did not because of the repairs, though I still don't think the law would be on your side.
