How can you do this when only one month is due within the 30 days?

 

By the time July rolls around, you are outside the 30 days.

Subject: Re: [RPPTL LandTen] Security Deposit conundrum

 

 I concur, although I might apply the last month's rent towards the June rent and security deposit towards the remainder of lost rent assuming the landlord is unable to lease the premises prior to July 1.  I think either method of applying the funds is the same more or less.

Isn't the purpose of a security deposit to stand for a tenants default?  We all think about the end of lease procedures, but I think you send a notice of default and notice that the security deposit is being applied to June rent. Wait until it is due. Then make demand for restoration of the deposit and in July apply the last month.

Scenario: 

 

Residential tenancy

Rent: $500 a  month

Landlord holds $500 security deposit and $500 last month’s rent

Tenant gives notice and a forwarding address and vacates on May 15, 5 months before lease is up.  Rent is paid for May.

Landlord has 30 days to make claim on deposit.

Unit is still vacant

How does landlord claim both months he is holding as in the 30 day period , the most the tenant will owe is June rent?

On June 1, tenant will owe June’s rent but how does landlord keep the last month’s rent he is holding?

 

Alternative scenario: Landlord does not hold last month’s rent but holds a $1000 security deposit.
