1. What should I do if the landlord doesn't refund the deposit?
1. If the nature or rules of the deposit are not specified in the house lease contract, the deposit will be treated as lease advance payment and will be returned anyway.
2. In the process of renting a house, the renter pays the retention money, guarantee money, security deposit, contract money, deposit or deposit, etc., but if the investment has the nature of an agreed deposit, the people's court will not support it.
3. If there is any property loss in the process of renting, the deposit should be deducted, and the deposit should be refunded after deducting the property loss.
4. The problem of non-refundable rental deposit can be solved by both parties through negotiation. If negotiation fails, relevant evidence can be collected and a lawsuit can be brought to the local court.
how to prevent the problem of not refunding the deposit in the process of renting a house
1. In the process of renting a house, when signing a rental contract with the landlord or intermediary, be sure to talk about the equipment and the situation of the house clearly. If the equipment itself is damaged, it must be indicated in the contract. Water, electricity and gas are natural consumption equipment, and if it is damaged, it is not covered by the mortgage. Electrical equipment such as washing machines, televisions, refrigerators, etc. should be marked with the brand model and the date of purchase and production. Even if it is impossible, attention should be paid to it. If it breaks down in time, it will also be natural damage.
2. When paying the rent, you must issue a receipt for paying the rent, so that it can be stamped or fingerprinted. Try to avoid handwritten receipts and signatures. If you rent a house through an intermediary company, you must stamp the company seal. In order to avoid disputes, the receipt has no legal effect. In addition, the payment method is better than remittance, so that there is a transaction record, which is also very convincing as evidence. Remember to pay cash.
3. Be sure to take photos of important documents during the process of renting. As contracts and receipts are all paper documents, it is recommended that you sign them and take photos for the record, so as to prevent your rights and interests from being protected after the documents are lost.
4. If you rent through an intermediary, you must choose a large and reliable intermediary company. There are many illegal black intermediaries now, so we must pay more attention to them.
second, how to deal with disputes over rental deposit
The rental deposit is generally agreed by both the tenant and the landlord, and the actual deposit will generally not exceed two months. In order to ensure that the house and its household appliances are not illegally resold and the water and electricity charges are deducted, the tenant generally agrees to pay the rental deposit to the landlord, and there will be corresponding payment after receiving the deposit.
among them, we should look for a formal intermediary company, preferably one with a national chain. Unless otherwise stipulated in the lease contract, the tenant should return the deposit in full to the tenant without interest on the day after the lease relationship is terminated and the landlord vacates the premises and pays off the payable fees.
the landlord can deduct the liquidated damages, damages and other related expenses arising from the landlord's violation of the provisions of this contract from the deposit, and the insufficient part of the tenant must make up within 1 days after receiving the payment notice from the landlord. If the tenant cannot rent the property normally during the lease period due to the landlord's reasons, the landlord shall immediately refund the deposit to the tenant in full without interest, and the tenant has the right to investigate the landlord's liability for breach of contract.
That's all the knowledge I've introduced to you today about how to deal with the rent deposit dispute if the landlord doesn't refund the rent deposit. When renting a house, we must know more about the rent deposit problem. Only by knowing it can we solve it better. Therefore, when renting a house, we must be cautious and learn to safeguard our own interests.
