Security Deposit Agreement PDF 2009-2024 Form

I did this in Connecticut. I'm not a lawyer and certainly not a landlord/tenant expert, but I'll tell you my experience, which might help.The place was sparkling when I left. A few days after I vacated, the LL left the country without telling me for a few months after I moved out, and then took a couple weeks to return the deposit even once he got back. I sued him for return of the security deposit, plus the extra damages (equal to the whole security deposit) that CT provides for a late return. I was pissed off enough with the LL that I pursued the suit even after he voluntarily returned the deposit, and I won a judgment for the extra statutory damages plus court costs.Here's what I did:* First, I tried calling, to see if we could sort out the problem. He didn't respond because he was out of the country (though I didn't know that at the time).* Next, I sent him letters demanding the security deposit, reminding him of my forwarding address, and threatening legal action. I kept a copy for myself, hand-delivered a copy to his business (which is where I had sent my rent checks), and sent both first-class and certified copies both to his business address and to what I believed to be his home address (based on an Internet search). I kept the certified mail receipts. I might have also posted a copy on my old apartment's door, which faced the street.* Once he got back to town but still gave me the run-around about the deposit, I filed suit. To do that, I filled out the appropriate complaint form (JD-CV-40), and took it to the clerk at the courthouse where the website told me to go, and the clerk put it on the small claims docket of Geographic Area #20. (CT's venue statutes are a real mess. I just reviewed them, and I believe this was correct. In any event, my LL has now forfeited any objection he might have had to the venue.) I kept my receipts from the court filing so that I could claim them later from the LL.* Then, I reviewed my options for serving him. Either I or the court clerk (I can't remember) sent him a copy by certified mail with return receipt to his business address.* While waiting for the court date, I got my records in order, including: a copy of each check I had ever paid to him, especially the first one for the security deposit; my lease, which recited the rent and security amounts (and I think also confirmed that he had received the deposit initially); and copies of all my correspondence with him and the mailing receipts.* I also went to the Small Claims Court to watch proceedings for a couple hours one day, just so that I'd be comfortable with the surroundings and have some idea what would be expected of me.* On the court date, he didn't show up. He may have falsely assumed that I had dropped the suit after he returned my deposit. In any case, the magistrate called me, and it was very quick. I was sworn in; she read out the description of the case from my complaint and asked me whether it was accurate; I said that the security deposit had been returned, so I was only seeking the extra statutory damages plus court costs. I think she also asked how much the court costs had been. And then she entered judgment for me. (Even if he had shown up, I'm sure I would have won. I knew the relevant law, had my facts straight, and was in a frame of mind to be polite and responsive to the judge. That goes a long way in Small Claims.)* Either that day or some time shortly thereafter, I got some kind of official record of the judgment.* Collection has been hard. (To be fair, though, I haven't put much effort into it because I'm largely satisfied with just getting my deposit back.) Not too long after the judgment, he either closed or sold his business, and he lost his home to foreclosure. He also divorced. Not a good year for him. Some time later, he moved out to Northern California, and I don't know where he is now. I've been considering calling up a collections person to see if they might be able to track him down.* The one asset I know about is the condo unit that I rented. I knew he still owned the place because I looked up the unit in the town's property records on its website. (This would be with the county rather than the town in most states.) So, I drew up a document with the requisite information, and filed it with the property clerk. In theory, I could now foreclose on the apartment, but I suspect the unit may be underwater with a mortgage that takes precedence over my lien. Instead, I'm hoping that when it gets above water again and he wants to sell, he'll want to pay me once he finds that no buyer wants the property with a clouded title.* Also, every great once in a while, I check on the websites of the Bankruptcy Courts of Connecticut and the Northern District of California to see whether he's filed for bankruptcy. If he were to file for bankruptcy, I might want to file a claim.So, some key points to think about and find out are:* Is there any way at all to get the deposit back without going to court? Going to court takes a long time, is a hassle, and in the end it might be hard to collect on a judgment.* Basic facts about the LL. Address, phone number. In some states, it might be necessary to know whether he's military. And once it comes time to execute a judgment, as much as possible about his property and financial affairs.* The substantive law: What are you entitled to and why? What defenses might the LL bring up? This may require looking at the statute; that's how I discovered that I was entitled to extra damages. If you have some special situation, is there relevant case law? (This might be worth hiring a lawyer to review.) If you know where your deposit is being held, is there any process to attach the bank account before the court date?* Does your lease say anything that might affect what you're entitled to? (But also consider that some states might not give effect to some kinds of clauses that run in favor of the landlord.)* What evidence do you need to assemble in order to prove the facts that you need to prove? Examples: Evidence that you paid a deposit in the first place, and that you left the apartment in good shape. What sort of evidence will be admissible? (It seems like every episode of People's Court, some litigant tries to tell the judge that so-and-so would testify that such-and-such happened, but couldn't come to court. The response is always: too bad, that's not evidence.)* Which court to file in? Which type — small claims, a special housing court, the general civil court? Which location? I'd start out by looking at a page like Wisconsin Court System - self-help law center.* How do you file a suit in that court? How must you inform the LL once you've filed?* Are you allowed to bring a lawyer? If so, is the claim big enough, complex enough, and likely enough to be recoverable that it would make sense? (In my case, my claim was very straight-forward, wasn't very big, and was probably only moderately collectable, so it didn't make sense to get a lawyer.)

Yes. Freshers are allowed to take Housing Deposit Loan for upto a maximum of Rs.30,000.The EMI would be deducted directly from your salary. You can repay in maximum 12 monthly installments, i.e within one year from the month of loan.There is no interest charged whatsoever.You should have less than six months of experience to avail the loan.If say, you are 4 people jointly paying Rs1,00,000 as the deposit, you'd be given only your share as the loan, i.e Rs25,000, and no more. If you are 2 people paying Rs70,000 as the deposit, you'd get Rs30,000 as that is the ceiling of the loan amount and not Rs35,000.Procedure:In Ultimatix, go to Employee Services --> Global ESS --> Employee Perks --> Loans and fill out the form.Also upload a scanned copy (PDF) of the Lease/Rent Agreement stating clearly the name & address of everyone who would be sharing the apartment and the security deposit amount & monthly rent.You may be required to email a copy to your HR. Just include the Request No along with the Lease/Rent Agreement and you'd be done.It takes 2 days to get the approval on an average and the amount is credited to your Salary (not Reimbursement) A/c within 2-3 days of the approval.For policy details, go to Ultimatix --> Global HR --> MyHR on KNOWMAX --> India --> Benefits --> Loans & Advances --> Housing Deposit Loan.

Property management companies charge between 7 and 10 percent of the rents that they collect. The service that they provide is advertising, pre-qualify prospective renters on the phone, showing the property to qualified renters. Selecting the right tenant, filling out rental application forms, doing credit and reference checks, filling out lease agreements, collecting security deposits and maintaining a TRUST account. Doing a walk through report with the tenant on possession date. Getting the tenant to sign an acknowledgement form for keys received and property found to be in good condition . Collecting 12 post dated cheques which are deposited regularly on the first day of each month and transferring those rents to landlords account for mortgage payments . Taking calls from those tenants for repairs and maintenance during their tenancy as and when they come up. Arrange for trades people to go and take care of the tenants repairs and maintenance issues. Make payments to the trades people. Collect invoices from trades people and maintaining an expenditure journal for the landlord. Doing a check out report and billing the tenant for damage done by the tenant. Reimbursing the security deposit to the tenant after deducting money for damages.Finally rerenting the place.As a landlord you'll pay 7 to 10 percent for all those services plus the money for repairs and maintenance that could vary tremendously based on age and location of the property. The property manager may even bill you a little bit over and above what he pays for the renovations or may collect a small commission from the trades people.Hope I've answerd your question.

One of the most prolific scams perpetuated through Craigslist (and similar sites) is one where the scammer sends a fake check for over the amount requested. The victim is then instructed to send back the difference via Western Union or Money Gram. The check initially will clear, but will bounce after about a week or so.Unfortunately, the law enforcement doesn’t really have the resources to chase these fraudsters, many of whom are in the western Africa and would be difficult to trace. They won’t be interested unless there is an actual loss and it’s in the 6-figure range USD.Craiglists provides information about scams and what to do here:craigslist | about > scamsThey also have a contact form that you can use to report scam postings or fake Craigslist web pages - here:craigslist | contact form

The answer will be different, depending on which country/state you live in. For example, in Victoria (Australia), all bonds are held by a government department called the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA).When a tenant/tenants vacates/vacate, an inspection of the property is performed by the Property Manager/Landlord and if the keys are returned, the rent is up to date, and the property is in the same condition that it was when the tenant(s) moved in, the Property Manager/Landlord will put in a claim to have the bond refunded.There are strict legal timelines around how many days after the tenant vacates the bond must be refunded and disputes are dealt with via an application to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).If one of the tenants decides to stay, there are a couple of ways this can be handled (depending on who paid the bond, and whose names are registered with the RTBA).As this is a new lease (and not a renewal), the Property Manager/Landlord could have the bond fully refunded to the existing tenants, then, they will ask for a new bond to cover the tenants on the new lease. Alternatively, the vacating tenant’s portion of the bond can be refunded and the Property Manager/Landlord will request that that portion be replaced by the new tenant on the lease.A bond can also be transferred when the vacating tenant moves to another place that is managed/owned by the same Property Manager/Landlord.

I heard a lot of good advice here, but a lot of it hasn't applied to me (I only really know about Manhattan south of Harlem).If you want an apartment, put down the application fee right away (it was $75 for my last apartment) then finish your search.  Risking the $75 was worth it when 10 minutes into filling out paperwork, someone tried to apply for the same apartment.If you're willing to spend $2500 and up,  you won't have a problem finding a comfortable apartment in a good area of Manhattan.  If you want to have some elbow room in that good area, consider $3000 and up.  If you take away some comforts (laundry room, elevator, how far you need to go to get to mass transportation, etc), then you might be able to stay in the $2000-$2500 range.Time of year affects whether or not you have to pay broker's fees.  (Talk to a broker in the area you're interested in and ask when you should consider moving.)  Also, some apartments actually have much better deals than others.  While I have seen the "first and last month's rent plus security deposit" type of deal with one apartment I looked at in the East Village, the apartment I moved into in the Financial District only required first month's rent and $1,000 security deposit.  Much better.While we did find good deals going without a broker, maybe dealing with owners instead of leasing offices, you do end up having to deal with some of the stuff Davide mentioned, and getting turned down for the silliest reasons.  One apartment in Murray Hill I loved.  I had my fiancee rush down in a taxi, and she thought the same.  I asked "Where do I sign?" and suddenly he mentioned he promised the apartment to someone else.  Eventually he called back saying that fell through, so I showed up again, then he asked for more money.  There was a bit more back and forth, (he wanted me to keep his furniture and toss mine, and some other silly things) ... I realized I didn't have the time to screw around anymore.  Everyone who's looking for an apartment has a timeline anyway, so if you can't sign right away, don't bother.  Leasing offices pre-checked by brokers let you sign right away.  There are websites to help you find things on your own, but it was taking us much longer to find decent deals with the websites, and we found a great broker that showed us 10 good apartments all not requiring a broker's fee, all in the same day, and we signed for apartment #7 out of 10.If you talk to a broker and they're off their game in anyway, the disappointments will probably pile on, and you should just spend the rest of the day with a different broker.If you know you're going to have to move out at a certain time that doesn't necessarily agree with the end of your annual lease, you can ask the building manager/landlord about the possibility of a short term lease.  These are few and far between in my experience, but one thing that does seem possible, including my building, is tacking on 1-3 months onto the end of a lease when it ends.  I don't know why, but that's within policy.You may very well be disappointed with the size of the apartment.  If you're looking in the Village, Soho, or any other ultra-trendy area, you may lose 100-200 square feet of space as opposed to the better value areas like Murray Hill, Yorkville, Stuyvesant Town, or parts of the Financial District.Don't go with any mover your broker recommends.  The brokers we went with were great, and they have the best of intentions, but the movers they recommend were reliably utter crap.  It's hard to find a trustworthy mover in general, but you can do better than that.  I was most impressed with Big John's Moving ... they're frequently used for film productions.  You can't be a dish dropper if you're going to be trusted with high precision equipment.  They didn't pay me to say that.Parking's going to be a killer if you have a car.  If it's a Smartcar, you may very well get half off... I know Icon Parking did that.  Also, residents can get a signNow discount on monthly parking if they live in the same building.  There's also a form you fill out to get 8+% tax for parking waived if you're a resident.  It's possible to do street side parking if you can work waiting for the street sweeper into your lifestyle.I do agree that non-rent-controlled apartments can and will go quickly up in price.  Even if it seems like a good deal, be prepared to move in the next year or two if it's not rent-controlled.  You can get an idea about how much the rent can go up because in the lease agreement (at least the ones I've signed), there was mention of what the "true value" of the apartment is considered to be, and you're agreeing that this is a "special deal"... my first lease called it a "sweetheart deal".  Right...I have no problem mentioning the brokers I had success with...Jelena Koprivica of New York Living Solutions (found us a place in the Financial District)Noeleen McStay of Rutenberg (found us a place in Yorkville)

Hi, To give a little more context, if you are worried about completing a direct deposit form, which should be for receiving remuneration of your wages, then request a your employment contract and tell them you will complete the direct deposit form after the employment has been received. Always be open and honest with a potential em0ployer and set parameters for your employment relationship from the get go. you would like to follow procedures. Every Employer will respect you more for that. I do not think it is fishy but a little odd

If the damages exceed your security deposit, your landlord might have two options, depending on your state's landlord and tenant laws. First, they could sue you. Second, they could send you an itemized bill for the repairs. ... If it's a lawsuit, you won't always get sued right away.

In some states, landlords must offer to perform a “pre-move-out inspection,” which gives tenants notice of\u2013and time to fix\u2013damage or uncleanliness, thus avoiding a deduction. In most states, it is up to the landlord to prove that dirty or damaged conditions justified keeping all or part of a deposit.

Some states require landlords to provide tenants with rent receipts. Washington, Maryland, and New York require rent receipts if the tenant pays in cash. Those states and others require rent receipts upon the tenant's request, while others, including Massachusetts, require rent receipts in any situation.

Some of the more common reasons a landlord can sue a tenant include: Unpaid Rent: If a tenant has not paid their monthly rent, you can first send them a notice to pay rent or quit. If that does not work, you can file to evict the tenant. At the same time, you can also sue them for any rent they owe.

When your tenancy ends. If there is damage, your landlord must give you a detailed list of damages within 30 days after your \u201ctenancy ends.\u201d If there is no damage or unpaid rent, your landlord must return the security deposit plus interest owed within 30 days after your tenancy ends.
