Can a prospective Landlord keep a deposit?
Friday, November 6th, 2009
Pete asked:
Can a prospective landlord keep a deposit ($500) used to secure an apartment, if the prospective tenant changes his mind about wanting to rent the apartment (in Ohio)? No lease was signed, only an application with an agreement to run a credit report. An application fee ($30.00) was charged, and it was stated that it was non-refundable.
