<p>Just looking at the statute it's very poorly worded, but
seemingly it allows things like a non-refundable carpet cleaning
fee. So it's really allowing an agreed to fee which can be
included as part of the deposit.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi, I've been volunteering with Tacoma Pro Bono
doing eviction related clinics, so I happen to know the answer
to this. Deposits are refundable. Non-refundable fees are
possible but they have to be clearly identified in the lease.

<p class="MsoNormal">Question for the LL attorneys. Can a
residential lease include a term saying the damage
deposit is forfeited if there is payment breach, even if
the LL immediately re-rents and doesn’t actually suffer
a loss? Akin to a liquidated damage clause, I suppose.
The Act appears to be silent on this issue, but the
damage deposit provisions contemplate covering actual
damages. Thanks. </p>
