Question About Renting From a Private Individual
Do they usually take your security deposit and apply it to the last months rent when you are moving out? I know it probably varies, just want to see what the norm is.

Re: Question About Renting From a Private Individual
my land lady took a security and it was agreed that it could not be lived on as last months rent..meaning i had to pay the last month and then if the apartment is in the same condition it was in when I moved it security will be returned
they take a security in case anything is ruined or needs to be replaced that was your doing. My old neighbors tenats completely ruined the walls in the apartment with some wires or something they did..so she took the security or part of it to fix what they did.

I have not rented before so I don't know, but this is exactly what I thought the security deposit was used for, and given back to you if everything was found in good condition.

Re: Question About Renting From a Private Individual
My private owner took a security deposit and said it could be used for last months rent if everything looks good

Well yeah that's what I figured, but I've heard some others say that their LL has used it for the last months rent also.

Re: Question About Renting From a Private Individual
Our private owner applied our security to our last month's rent... I'm sure it varies by individual.
If I were a landlord, I'd probably *not* apply it to last month's rent and only return it upon inspecting the apartment after move out.

Re: Question About Renting From a Private Individual
Our private LL also used our security as last month's rent. I think it varies really.
