6 Expert Tips to Get Your Security Deposit Back

Security deposits are a common requirement for renters, and typically, they amount to a full month’s rent or sometimes even two or three months.

Though you may get this back upon move-out, your landlord can also use it to repair any damage you do to the property – aside from normal wear and tear – or to cover missed rent. This can significantly reduce the amount you’re refunded or, in some cases, even deplete your security deposit entirely.
