How Much Will You Really Get Back? Security Deposit
Walk Through Before You Move In The first step to recovering your security deposit happens before you even move in. You should do a walk-through inspection with your landlord to look for any problems, imperfections, or concerns. You and your landlord should use a checklist and note anything that is not in perfect condition. If it is noted now, your landlord cannot fault you for its less-than-perfect state when you are ready to move.
