What is a security deposit, how much is it and what does it cover?
Last reviewed
Security Deposit 5% of the Annual Rent paid by the tenant in advance and held in reserve in the event of the depositor failing on a contractual obligation to protect the Landlord in a real estate lease. It covers Loss of Rent, Damage to the Property, Lost of Security Keys and Repairs that are not wear and tear.
Still not sure how it applies to you?
Every deal has a detail the general answer does not cover. Put yours to a broker who closes them weekly.
