This is the exact reason why you never collect just one month rent as a security deposit.

Always keep marketing the property til the security deposit is received 

I had a tenant who had a Surety bond with Assurant for the security deposit, but they are getting out of the business and are not renewing any of their policies. 

Hello,I was wondering for the security deposit return the following:1.

Do you have a refundable damage deposit?

WOW.. 40k plus deposits on a home to be built.. ??? 

As both a landlord and a local investor in Boca Raton, I’ve seen how deposit disputes and inconsistent inspections can cause real frustration for both owners and tenants.That’s why I started offering independent, photo-verified move-in/out documentation services for landlords, property managers, and short-term rental hosts.We provide:Neutral, third-party documentation (so owners stay compliant and protected)Flat-fee inspections starting at $9924–48 hr turnaround with photo/video reportsOptional cleaning or repair coordination add-onsCurious if others here are doing this or outsourcing similar work?

Hi @Kenneth Kirkland, When you buy a property, the assets transfer but money like security deposits or reserve funds doesn’t automatically.

I suspect that full security deposit forfeiture for lease violation may not be legal.  

Coincidentally the list of repairs they emailed her equals the amount of her security deposit.
