Under IRS Publication 523 for 2023 dated February 2024, I qualify as "Service, Intelligence and Peace Corp Personnel" and for "qualified extended duty" (page 4& 5 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p523.pdf).

Here's the deal: You don't need to withdraw and return the current security deposit just to collect the additional $100.

@Brady Bitter First what are you calling "securities"? 

Yes, you can deduct the 8 days rent from the security deposit.

Rick Basement square footage and room count are typically not counted on public record but in some states agents list it or are allowed to list it. 

Question is: if I have one of these LLC (owned husband and wife, in a non-community property state), but it's a just a passive LLC - such that all it does is owns public securities (ie, our brokerage accounts are titled in the name of the LLC), does the same rule apply?

Just be sure to clarify that she isn’t a leaseholder but is authorized to reside in the unit.If you’re concerned about liability or want more peace of mind, you could ask the primary applicant for additional security, such as a higher deposit, depending on what’s allowed under Colorado law. 

You can then tell the security office to disregard any alarms the rest of the night if needed.They run off of batteries and need to replace about every 3 years. 

Now, over a year and a half later, he sent a certified letter last week demanding the security deposit or legal action within 30 days.Please advise. 

McElhannon: I'm curious on peoples go to approach to secure financing for an investment property - use a broker?
