Reread the lease they should say something about the security deposit. How did you want to pay it since you agreed to it then didn't pay it? That is very nice of them to allow you to make payments on it. If you don't the first time you do anything that isn't in the lease they will evict you and if you make it to the end of the lease they will raise the rent substantially if they let you renew at all.

seems such as you're off to a sturdy start up for court. a million. determine you finished and document all place of work work (quite the summons that is going to the owner) thoroughly and exact. 2. follow the information. The decide would not care why you like the money, he in trouble-free terms cares in case you're entitled to the money. 3. study the state regulation on the subject of the time-physique a landlord has to return the deposit and what occurs no count if that is not decrease back or accounted for interior the ideal time. In some states you may get it lower back in spite of the concern of the unit if the owner fails to deliver the expertise interior the time shrink. 4. replace into one jointly with your hire. be conscious of the provisions that influence the deposit. 5. i does not tell the decide you fell $2 hundred for carpet cleansing is unreasonable. The time to improve that as an argument replaced into at pass in, not pass out. 6. in case you will teach the tape as information, make useful the court could have a VCR to tutor the tape or make arrangements to hold one.

If it isn't in the written lease agreement then it doesn't count. The landlord can't just change the amount because he wants to. Also, by law your security deposit has to be kept separate from your rent. Go by the terms of your written lease agreement. I have had tons of problems with crappy landlords. If you need more help (like figuring out the wording in your lease) you can email me at schmell16@cs.com.

There was nothing mentioned about a security deposit in the lease? Mmmm........that's weird. You had an agreement which you broke. He can actually kick you out. There is NO excuse to not pay your rent or associated expenses. If you could not afford the place which obviously you can't you should not have taken it. I suggest you find a less expensive place.

It was only a verbal agreement, and one that he can say never happened. There is no proof for the delayed deposit. You are stuck paying this. When handling business matters, if you promise someone money by a certain date, you need to stick to it, or talk to him way ahead of time. Then when you did talk to him, get it in writing, so you have your backup.

first and foremost the roof over your head is prime
all the rest is 2ndary...but you can still eat.
sounds as tho you have your priorities mixed up.
don't bite the hand that feeds you, get humble and do a face to face with the landlord and straighten it out b4 it goes to far.
he'll be laying for you every chance he gets and it'll cost you.
lease or not...you're just starting out and you better get it now or you won't be gettin it at all.
don't be a stiff and play it off as anything else.
some things may not be legal, but it happens and you are going to get the brunt of it all...so get right with the guy and reverse the wrong that's been done.
Is there another way to explain it to you better??????

I am a landlord, and if it is not in writing and on your lease, then it does not exist. At the same time, don't be a deadbeat. You know you need to pay it if you promised to.

It would be advisable to have the landlord "change" the written agreement.I would never agree to anything "verbally."

So, he gave you a break and you stiffed him? That was kind of low-life. Yes, if you have breached the agreement, he can actually evict you.

sounds a little fishy to me.. if it's not in the lease agreement that they can't do that.. read it over again and make sure... sounds like they're trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
