This brochure addresses an important aspect of the rental process which generates many questions from tenants, specifically tenant security deposits. Questions addressed include: How much security deposit can I be charged? Can my landlord charge me a “pet fee”? What happens to my security deposit while I’m a tenant? And what happens to it once my rental term is over? Although this information focuses on security deposits from the perspective of a tenant, it should also be useful to landlords, property managers and rental agents.
