We decided not to enter into a lease with her but wanted to know if we must return all, part or none of her Security deposit?

Hi I’m buying a house that was listed as a regular sale on Zillow.

Thank God for what you have and invest to secure your family's future... don't do this so you can blow your money on top dollar worthless items.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

However, I've never done a rooming house before and wanted to know the best way to handle security deposits and how they may be applied to damages in the future.

@Janeile Cudjoe-Myers - This could be a really interesting property, it deviates from several of my personal thresholds, the largest being I refuse to buy anything that I can't pay the mortgage on from my regular income so should the property be near-vacant I can never be bankrupted. 

But I would think the Commission has shared its thoughts on a real estate salesperson engaging in a transaction with a regular consumer.

We will obviously ensure they carry proper insurance, abide by the law, and submit to regular inspections.Question: if they live in the home and operate a business, would you charge them additional rent for the business side?

There are also some great caves in the Black Hills.I have found most of our purchases from MLS but I am regularly presented off market listings (close to daily).
