What is this Rent Deposit Agreement for?
You can use this document with a lease, where the tenant pays a rent deposit to the landlord who places the deposit in a bank account and holds it on trust for the tenant.
The landlord can use the deposit if the tenant defaults. Otherwise the landlord must return the deposit to the tenant at the time specified in this document. And the tenant is entitled to the interest earned on the deposit account.
You need this document if you are a landlord wanting to formalize the terms under which you hold a tenant’s deposit.
