As a landlord these are the types of items that must be inspected regularly and replaced when found so as to bill the tenant before having to deduct the cost from their deposit at move out.

Agent can list and not disclosed if they didn't go to the city to research it.So technically the agent did not lie.You can walk and get your deposit back.

Can we simply deposit the total funds required to complete the transaction to an attorney?

I will be delivering a 5 day notice to them today and I do have their deposit which I was planning on using for the bedbug treatment but now it looks like I'm also going to be out of April's rent. 

I send them the deposit info and put in dates for the deposits to be paid.

Im just looking for something that would streamline the process, rather than manually depositing checks.

She then said she's not touching the stuff and that I can keep the deposit.

We paid them $1000 refundable deposit to see what Seed Capital was offering but as I am going through the process my brother told me about Bigger Pockets.

I'd be willing to allow them to customize some of the finishes with a signed agreement of sale and non refundable deposit (at least for any customized finishes).

Free online payment options are available or you could have the tenant set up direct deposit into your account for free.
