Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I was in a contract with a Section 8 tenant. If anyone knows of the process of renting to someone on section 8 it is a bit lengthy. Scenario; she urged me to give her a lease agreement, I did, and when she signed the lease agreement she gave me part of the deposit, which she signed and agreed to. We did not have the contract from HUD, yet. The day of my home inspection she backs out, am I legally entitled to keep all or part of her deposit? She backed out one week prior to her move in date.

RE: Deposit
In California unless otherwise specified in your lease, you would be entitled to keep the deposit unless you re-rent for that same month. Most states WILL NOT permit a landlord to collect double rent.
