If you rent have you had your deposit returned? what you have to do to get your money back?

Answer 1

This should be specified in you lease how soon after you leave, and everything is in order.This is normally within 30 days.

Answer 2

The best way to insure getting your deposit back is to do a walk through inspection with the landlord a day or two after moving in and documenting any existing problems-- missing screens, hole in screen, dent in stove, carpet has a stain, etc. If the landlord isn't willing, then you do a walk through and write a letter stating the existing conditions and keep a copy for yourself. When you move out, ask for a walk through inspection when you are ready to turn in your keys and the unit is empty and clean. It is your opportunity to ask the landlord what he sees that you will be charged for. If you have patched holes in the wall and sanded down the plaster, cleaned, removed all trash, the landlord will usually chalk up any thing as "normal wear and tear" if the unit is relatively presentable. In most states if they make deductions on a deposit they have to indicate what the charges are for. Doing a walk out inspection will help you make sure you get every dime back.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Get the flat professionally cleaned (including carpets) and keep copies of the receipts.
Check your contract, it should detail what your responsibilities as are tenant are on vacating the property. Stick to the directions to the letter as lots of landlords see it as an opportunity to make a quick buck.

Answer 4

There should be no delay in receiving your deposit back UNLESS YOU HAVE damaged anything within the property which needs to be rectified.

Answer 5

when you move, give the property back to the landlord in the same, or better condition than it was given to you.
