Should you give a security deposit back if tenant did not finish the lease term?

no i think

If they took care of the apartment/house ,and if you have found new renters, yes.

Check the lease...it usually says what the consequences are for breaking it.

Someone else said it and I agree. You have to go by the terms of the contract. The security deposit should be for damages. If there is a break lease clause that states that the security deposit will not be returned if the lease is terminated early then you have covered yourself and shouldn't feel guilty about keeping it. But at the same time, if the clause states that the tenant can be released from the contract with 30 (60, 90, whatever) days notice and the apartment is in good condition, I say give it back because not only is it right, you might end up in court.

if you aren't desperate for the money, and think that it can help the family, if they are nice people and in need.....then keep your blessings coming by doing a kind deed.

Nice has nothing to do with this. This is business. If they did not finish the lease term, what are the consequences as stated in the lease? Apply those consequences and you will never have a fair housing complaint. Treat all people fairly and according to the terms of the lease.

Nah bra. We don't play that stuff anymore. To get respect, you must give respect. Don't let anyone take advantage of you. Those days are over !!!! Stand up for what's right. At most of all, stand up for yourself !! You'll be alright.

Im A owner of income poperty...I recently had to evict a tenant...they owe back rent..alot..the judge gave them three days ,i was mr. nice guy told them to leave please before i had to serve the order ....they held out until the cops showed up at the door..Nothing against your tenants, but im not forgiving ever again...Keep the s.d. they broke a lease..Might make them think twice before they try to screw the next landlord..


TheMom
Please don't! They may end up as mine someday and expect a hand out. I have a family to feed. I can't afford flakey tenants.

No, they signed a contract, make them stick to it. There is no reason you should have to support them and their bad habits.

No, one of the reasons for requiring a security deposit is to cover the expense of a tenant breaking his lease early or causing damage to the property.

When the tenant signed the lease, he signed a legal agreement that he would pay rent on the property for the amount of time on the lease. If he broke the lease, then he has no legal right to get that deposit back.
