Prorated first month’s rent
my first month’s rent was prorated back in Oct. 2005. Due to a tree problem in the yard. So I paid $1300 in security not including my last month rent. Now two years later my landlord wants to take $650 from my security for the first month’s prorated rent. Can that be legally done? By the way it has always been a month to month lease.

    If your landlord took a security deposit equal to 2 months rent he can only keep it for a year. After you have been there 1 year he should have returned $650 to you.

    Also security deposits may only be used for damages and/or unpaid rent.

    So the short answer probably not.

    If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
