Unfortunately, you chose a house too small for your needs.Your mis-judgement is not a reason to void a contract. If it could be cancelled for any little reason the there would be no reason for the earnest money in the first place. The amount you put down is an indication of what you are willing to risk if the deal falls apart.\nIf you could not get financing or if the buuilding failed inspection then you could get a refund. \nWhere is your Buyer Agent in all this?

You need to go back and look at your original lease. Also, if you are on HUD have you renewed your lease annually? Why the new deposit? Where is the last deposit? Your contract is rock solid, read it over and seek legal aid advice, most larger cities have a free legal aid

Call the Department of Health. The landlord has probably broken the lease and you can move with your deposit. I would have already moved if it's been since October. That is BS! I have kids mysself and I would not put up with that. I had a mold problem and I told the landlord I can move out because he did not provide aduquite quarters for my family, and I had to pay rent for a bathroom that I didn't even use. Good luck!

I'm pretty sure that once you pay the security deposit the landlord should hold the apartment for you.  I do know that when you move out of the apartment you get your security deposit back if the apartment is in good shape with no damage incurred while you were renting.  If the landlord later says he or she is unhappy with your credit and decides not to rent to you they must return your deposit.

Mike,\n\nIn virtually every Purchase Agreement, there is a liquidated damages clause which states that if you back out of the contract, the seller's ONLY recourse is to keep your deposit.  There is almost a zero chance that he can sue you for anything.  But just to be sure, read the PA.  I can almost guarantee that there will be language that states what I have said above.  Look for the words "liquidated damages" in relation to the deposit.

First, I don't think that HUFs have a right to collect deposit from the public. And as far as I understand, HUF (Hindu undivided family) is not a business entity. So, how can a deposit be accepted? If u mean loans and deposits from ur friends and relatives, then they are not covered by law unless they have proof in writing.. Anyway, for a better answer u should consult a CA!!

I would think that you would be able to get your money back unless there was something specifically worded that you couldn't.  You never owned a pet and never signed anything, so I don't see what right they have to hold your money.  Some apartments you literally have to fight to get deposits back.  I had an apartment once, paid my pet deposit, and all I owned was a cat.  The deal with mine was that I got my deposit back upon leaving as long as there was no damage caused by the pet.  When I did move out, my apartment actually looked better than when I moved in but the landlord claimed damage that didn't even exist.  Long story short, I had to really show my a$$ and make a royal nuisance of myself, but I got my money back.

no they cant ask for additional deposits if you have a lease sounds to me like someone is scamming you ,call the head office and ask for owner or the person under him let him no what the manager is doing ,you can also go to the library and get a book called The Landlord and Tenant Book it has a lot of interesting things in it

Yes, you can get a 100% mortgage, which means you are borrowing the total cost of your property, but you don't get such a good rate, which means you will pay back more in interest than you would have if you had a deposit.\n\nSome lenders will actually let you borrow more than 100% which is good for furnishings etc, but again, it will be an even worse rate of interest.\n\nIf you can save for a deposit it is definitely the most sensible option and will save you money in the long-run.\n\n(Based on information from UK - US may be different!)

It does if the landlord reports it to the credit bureau which they will if they ran a credit check on you before you rented the place. It stays there for seven years.\nI alwyas tried to rent a place without a ctedit check.

you'll have to prove the whole story. i hope you did a move-in written walk through inspection and took a few pictures as a prudent person would do when renting a house.  otherwise, it's his money.

Most states have Landlord Tenant laws specific to that state. The reason they need to be held in a separate account is to protect the tenant so the deposit will actually be there when he/she moves out.

He's not.\n\nThe rental deposit is a bond against loss / damage caused in the flat.  It is not his money to keep.  It's yours.\n\nSuggest you write a letter saying you want it returned within 14 days of the date of the letter.\n\n14 days thereafter, another letter explaining that if the monies are not forthcoming within 7 days (or whatever time limit you feel like) you will be obliged to issue proceedings without further reference to him.\n\nThen issue in small claims court.\n\nIn meantime, google the CAB's advice on landlords and the retention of rental deposits.

Yes, usually you have to wait until all the paperwork is done on it. My husband and I invest into homes that sell cheat and do our work ourselves and make the profit. These homes that they are forclosing on sometimes are a bit higher than others because they want to recoup some of the loss on it...N

It all depends on the contract that you signed.  Most of the time you get the deposit back in full if you do a good job cleaning and maintaining the place.  If you don't, they keep it to go toward your lack of maintenance.  If it's part of your contract that you do get your first month rent back, then you will (or should).  Check your copy of the contract to see for sure.  If it's not part of your contract to get your first month back, you probably shouldn't worry about getting the deposit back either because he kept it for this month's rent instead.  Again, review your contract.

From one Landlord to another I think you should keep at least the Security Deposit, they did make a verbal agreement with you and you are going to loose possibly 1 months rent.  But state laws do vary so I would check out your state laws. I use www.nolo.com for some information you can see if they can help you there.  Some people feel you deserve to keep both deposit and rent, and that is their opinion, I would check into my state laws and if you can keep it all do it.  Good Luck KG
