Security Deposits & Move-In/Move-Out Procedures

Security Deposits and Move-In / Move-Out Procedures

If you ever had to return a security deposit refund issue because of deductions and found yourself in trouble with your tenant, this is the webinar for you. Nothing is more frustrating than arguing with your tenant (or former tenant) over their security deposit and especially if you are being sued in small claims court. 

Owners beware: security deposit disposition rules have recently changed and not only are deductions by a landlord limited to “reasonable” amounts and deductions that are reasonable and necessary to restore the premises back to the condition it was in before the tenancy (except for ordinary wear and tear), owners are now required to take a series of photographs before tenancy, prior to the end of tenancy and then to show proof any repairs have been made.

Join us and learn how you can avoid the hassles and liabilities associated with security deposit dispositions. This webinar will help you understand the requirements of state law and your obligations associated with security deposit disposition situations. THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF THIS IMPORTANT LEGAL STRATEGY FOR DEALING WITH ANY MOVE IN OR MOVE OUT PROCESS. YOU’LL ALSO GET ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND, IT’S ALL FOR FREE!
