Are you legally allowed to use the Security Deposit for anything other than damages, unpaid utilities and last month's rent (if they left without paying the last month's rent)?

It's not that I am desperate for $ or work, but the utilities dont want to hear how you cant pay, or the credit card companies, etc...housing may be giving a break on mortgages/rent but no one else is.Also, I learned this lesson painting apartments.

The only shared thing other than utilities is the laundry is in the basement.

I currently do not have an SDIRA and understand that I can utilize the monies in that vehicle as a down payment to get into real estate properties, which will provide some tax free advantages.

For utilities, is there a reason the landlord is paying them? 

I currently have 110 properties and I'm looking to try and utilize the same method I have to manage it (AI +VA) in the US.

I mentiond in another message but basically I currently have 110 properties and I'm looking to try and utilize the same method I have to manage it (AI +VA) in the US.

Maybe the property class wouldn't support that large of an improvement but it would be a welcomed feature.Are the other utilities separate?

My point is for most people, they will have income, yet they are not expected to pay rent, mortgage or utilities.

Hi,I was a bit curious as to which one of you are utilizing the leasing option in Texas, specifically Houston.
