Security deposit

What is security deposit?

A security deposit is an amount held against damage, unpaid charges or breach of house rules, normally returned after check-out if nothing is owed. Ask in writing how much it is, how and when it is refunded, what deductions are allowed and who holds the money, before you pay it.

Keep the receipt and photographs of the apartment’s condition on arrival.
