Tip Of The Day: Always Get A Receipt For Your Apt. Security Deposit
8:30AM | June 15, 2009 | comments: 1
Hey guys, we get a ton of letters, e-mails and phone calls on this.
Remember, no matter how much pressure is put on you by a landlord or broker DO NOT write a check for a security deposit without getting a signed receipt and NEVER leave a cash deposit without that receipt.
Without that piece of paper, any dispute becomes "your word against theirs" and those are always a problem.

But what if your check was cashed (and contains the signature on the back of the check)? Doesn't that serve as evidence that the security deposit was paid?
