14th St. & Monroe Ave. 541-754-3032 Friday, april 15, 2016 • THE DAILY BAROMETER • 7 Securing your security deposit Cleaning common spaces and filing reports can help renters get money back Tyler Sanford Practicum Contributor Every year, non-freshmen students at Oregon State University may be renting a property. Before securing a property renters pay a refundable fee to their landlords called a security deposit. Security deposits are a fee that landlords use to protect themselves from paying for damages that tenants cause. There are many precautions that students and other first-time renters can take to help preserve their deposit. There are also a lot of misconceptions about what security deposits are used for. Cody Carrier from At Home Properties said that some students believe that the security deposit can be used for part of their last month’s rent. Carrier also believes that the biggest mis- take students make while renting is failing to complete a condition report, which is a checklist that lists all damages from previous tenants.
