[RPPTL LandTen] Security deposits

[David Weisman]

It seems that during the term of the Lease, the Landlord has a security interest in the SD. After it is returnable, the creditor can get at it.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Security deposits

Has anyone dealt with a garnishment served on the landlord?  The creditor is trying to grab the security deposit.  I’m not able to find anything saying it cannot be grabbed by the creditor, so I assume it’s free game.

Does anyone have any conflicting insight?

Thanks
