In some states, it is illegal to keep the security deposit unless there's been actual damage beyond normal wear-and-tear. The landlord would have to sue and would only be able to claim actual losses. Know your rights.

Unfortunately the landlord already has the money, so you have to sue to get it back. Even with a win, you may have to sell the debt to a collection agency to see any of it ever again.

Yeah, that’s exactly what a smart landlord would do, try and screw over someone who is being investigated for murder. No way that could go wrong.

Are there really states where the security deposit is not able to be used for unpaid rent or other unpaid fees?

[–] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Maybe I'm misremembering :(
