Tenant Non-Refundable Deposits in Purchase of Rental Property

[Jamie Owen]

My husband and I are purchasing a duplex that has tenants in both sides. We will receive the refundable portion of the deposits as well as any pre-paid rent. I was trying to find what the laws were in regards to whether or not we receive the non-refundable portion of the deposits paid by the tenant at move in. One tenant paid a non refundable deposit of $300 and the other paid $350.  That seems like a high non-refundable portion, so I did not know if we would be entitled to part of that amount as a "cleaning fee" upon move out. On the lease it is not specified as a "move-in fee" but only referred to as the non-refundable portion of the deposit. I don't want to seem greedy but I want what is fair and as we are new in the industry I don't know what is standard. 

Thanks,

Jamie Owen
