Forum / General Property Management / Deposit deductions

I had a renter who gave my 5 days notice that they were moving out. I have decided to only give him half the deposit back along with any other deductions after the cleaning and repairs are done. Is this a pretty fair decision on my part?

RE: Deposit deductions

CHECK with your states requirements for making deductions from a security deposit. ALL states differ and most require specific procedures such as a set amount of time to return the security deposit, what you may deduct...providing a statement for your tenants and more...
