Most renters try of asking for their security deposit back and decide to vacate their residences in the hopes of receiving the funds later. Getting the security deposit back in this scenario is far more difficult and will take much longer. When you still own the house, you have a better chance of getting it. This paragraph will not apply to you if your house rent agreement format expressly stipulates that the deposit will be returned to you only after you vacate.

Yes, Your landlord may deduct from your security deposit for unpaid rent, repairs for damage other than normal wear and tear. Under some state laws, the security deposit may also be used for cleaning a rental unit after move-out, but only to make the unit as clean as it was when you first moved in.

Hi friend,
First, if you are a tenant with a written lease, a landlord does not have to return your deposit until 30 days after the end of the tenancy as specified in the lease, even if you actually leave sooner. Second, your landlord can use your security deposit to pay for certain expenses and have to return rest of the amount.
