Note: These are summaries of State Landlord Tenant Security Deposit Laws.
Detailed Security Deposit information may be found on RentLaw.com The National Landlord Tenant Guides http://www.rentlaw.com/securitydeposit.htm .
Note: GUIDELINES typically apply leases of 1 year or more. Each state may have different security deposit laws. Generally "Short Term" agreements do not apply. Short Term may be defined as Seasonal Rental (Winter, Summer, etc), student housing (semester), dormitories, hotels or rooming houses.
Before you move in, do a walk through (pictures) and note any damages and condition of the rental. The move-in list should be referred to when you leave.
When you leave the apartment (or other rental) do a walk through with the owner or property manager. Take pictures and both agree to any damages or to the condition of the rental. See our Normal Wear Tear Guide.
