She only keeps whatever amount it cost to repair damages to the house/apartment, the rest is returned to you. The amount returned is up to the landlord though, not the renter. You can request documentation on costs of repairs though. |

what are the terms of your lease? your landlord gets to keep the deposit if you leave before the end of your lease. if you do not have a written lease of rental agreement (ie: you pay month to month) then you do not owe anythign beyond the last month you are there. if the deposit is specified to cover damages to the property and you have none, then you may have some recourse in getting the $ but with nothing in writing you're pretty much out of luck. |

Learn the terms of your lease--your responsibility and the landlord's.
The landlord is entitled to keep your deposit if you have voided the terms of the lease.
If you have not voided any terms, request (demand) a move-out inspection, with you present, and sign off on it, providing that you agree. Normal wear-and-tear, for example, is not a legitimate claim to retain a deposit. However, if upon inspection, the landlord finds that glass in windows were broken without a prior report (if an outside disturbance caused it) or walls were "punched" in/out, etc., that is not normal wear-and-tear.
If you've lived there, say, for ten years, and the landlord is claiming that they need to re-paint the apartment, and therefore needs to keep your security deposit--WRONG! It's normal wear-and-tear...unless you painted the walls orange or cranberry or periwinkle without prior written arrangements to do so.
While we expect fairness, we also must be fair.
But, the law is not about fairness...it's about the law. Again, read your lease and go from there. |

no you shoudl get it back, security deposit is for possible damages. if u gave adequate time for depatrue your entitled to your security back. |

If you were on a month to month lease, then you should get your deposit back if everything is in good order. But if you have a lease that extends past the 30 days notice that you gave, then you can be held responsible for a wide variety of items, depending on the terms of your lease.
If you could just walk away with no penalty with 30 days notice, then why would there be a lease for a longer term than that? |

it depends on what your lease says. if you gave proper notice and you leave the apt in good condition then she should not keep the desposit. she would have no legal right to. But if you are terminating your lease early or if you have given insufficient notice then you will have to pay some sort of fee. |

uh not if you left in the same condition that you entered (with reasonable wear and tear). thats your money you should keep it.
a deposit is only if there are damages. it does not need to be stated in the lease. it is your right as a tenant. its the law. |

you'll have to post more information about the state you live in and what kind of lease you have/had.
30 days is usually enough for either party to terminate a lease and you getting your deposit back, but it depends on your state and what the lease says about how much notice is required to move. |
