 Tips How To Make Sure Getting My Rental Deposit Back When I Move Out

 

• Usually, landlord will ask for a deposit fee together with the first month payment; so make to sure ask for a receipt when the deposit is delivered. The receipt should state and spell our correctly it is for a rental deposit and completely detailed together with correct amount.

 

• Put a note of any damages already there when you move in. It's best if the landlord and tenant sign the list of damages, and make a copy of each and keep it. This list should is very important when you first move in, or before. Put the place back in shape when you move out. Remove your trash and leave the house or unit in the same condition it was in when you moved in.

 

• Inform the landlord about damages (it should be in writing if possible for documentation) which occur while you're renting the unit and the cause of the damages should be explained.

Usually, tenant is responsible only if the tenant is somehow at fault. When you want to move out, give the proper notice to your landlord.

 

• If you are already move out and you want your deposit sent you back, give the address or mailing address to the landlord in writing, and keep a copy of the paper you give the landlord, for your own records. Remember, if no mailing address is given to the landlord within one year, then the tenant loses the right to get any of the deposit back.

 

• Set appointment with the landlord at the time you move out. Ask your landlord whether you are going to be charged for any damages, cleaning, or whatever. Then you can able to fix whatever problem there is while you're still in a good position to do so. But if the landlord can state no need for repairs or cleaning to do so, then try to get the deposit back at this meeting.

 

• For no more explanations at all. Take pictures of the home before you leave. Same as you took picture the day you move in.
