The listing agent told me the realty company to make the deposit check out to.

If just a quadplex r smaller, the seller should provide evidence of payments from each tenant (copies of checks, bank statements showing deposits, etc.)

So, either the existing lease stays in place or everybody leaves.If the one remaining person can qualify, then the security deposit is going to become an issue.

If the P-trap leaks, they you fix it.This reduced my management to making bank deposits.

It's occasionally less, but usually more, and normal wear and tear can't come out of their security deposit.

Kind of like just because the bank deposited $1M in your bank account doesn't mean you can keep it if it's not yours.I would slow down on the lawsuit idea though, he will likely send it to you if you just ask or the DSS office may even be able to cancel the payment or pull it back somehow.Now if that doesn't work then talk to a lawyer, and you may even get the DSS office to assist you legally since they probably have a system in place to prevent claiming of unentitled benefit.

If after depositing the contract with your Title company and the title is not clean/marketable, allow him to receive his deposit back but only then.

For me its just do your homework first, then if you want the deal lets lock it up with a non refundable deposit.

- Yes, my records show tenant paid on time with no lates.Did --- receive security deposit back?

I text the tenant reminding them to deposit the rent.
