@Sam Adcock  Agree with above posts, I open an account at a local bank near the place, and have the tenants deposit it directly.

Also if there are problems in many instances the seller could fix them versus dropping the priceNot sure about the offer but you need to be careful also not to lose your deposit.

Since you deposit all of your money into the account right away, the HELOC amount is reduced (and therefore less interest) for the time between when you get paid and have to take some of the money back out to pay your bills. 

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?
