From one Landlord to another I think you should keep at least the Security Deposit, they did make a verbal agreement with you and you are going to loose possibly 1 months rent. But state laws do vary so I would check out your state laws. I use www.nolo.com for some information you can see if they can help you there. Some people feel you deserve to keep both deposit and rent, and that is their opinion, I would check into my state laws and if you can keep it all do it. Good Luck KG

You have to check the laws in your area but i believe you should be able to keep Nov. Rent because you could have rented to someone else. Also in some areas a tenant has got to give 30 days notice! Good Luck.

I would tear the check up and chalk this up to a lesson learned. the guy has probably stopped payment on the check, just find another tenant and get s signed lease when you get the check.

if you transferred keys, hes good for 30 days, what state are you in...if he doesn't occupy; move another in and deduct advertizing from the deposits and rebate the balance and prorate the rental for the days lost that he was not there.

depends on where you live and the laws. i would say check with your local area landlord association.

Dumb. You should have already deposited the check.
The renter has probably stopped payment, and you don't have a lease.
Start over.

you are the owner, and additionally you took his money yet you do not have a signed hire..... now he does not desire to hire in spite of everything. many times, the respond lies interior the words of the SIGNED hire. return his money rapid and need he does not point out it to an lawyer.
