Renters: Make Sure Your Security Deposit Is Safe
Renters: Make Sure Your Security Deposit Is Safe
For those of us considering moving out of our rentals, securing your security deposit can be a make-it-or-break it moment for our finances, as you will most likely be needing a security deposit for wherever you’re headed. Unfortunately, many renters never see their security deposit again. Recently, Rent.com surveyed 1,000 U.S. renters, and the results were startling:
- More than a quarter (26 percent) of all renters have lost their security deposit at some point
- 37 percent of men and 44 percent of 18-24 year olds said they did not get their deposits back because they moved out early
- More women (9 percent than men (3 percent) lost a deposit due to pet damage
- 36 percent of renters who did not get their deposits back said the landlord gave no explanation.
- This is likely illegal although tenant/landlord laws vary by state but according to several state law sites (ag.ny.gov, ca.gov, oag.state.tx.us, illinoisattorneygeneral.gov, mass.gov) the landlord must return the deposit less any lawful deduction.
