You identify the problem (lack of deposit) during your inspection phase, then hit them with an objection that requires them to pay you a deposit at closing.

I know I need to hold the security deposit in an escrow account.  

I have a clause in the lease that says the security deposit will be held in so and so bank with so and so address and interest rate will be xyz.

The security deposit should never be used for anything during the lease.

For as much as attorney's charge, they should be able to answer this question.The deposit can be used for cleaning, repairs, and unpaid charges.

Here’s what to keep in mind:Between LLCs: Use formal loans or inter-company agreements to transfer funds, ensuring documentation to avoid co-mingling issues that could affect liability protection.Personal to LLC: Deposit personal funds as a capital contribution or loan to the LLC.

What about the security deposit? 

WOW.. 40k plus deposits on a home to be built.. ??? 

I invested with D32, and like a lot of others, cannot get my deposit back.

Screening tenants well and then a security deposit or credit card hold process in place will limit liability.
