  • Recovering Rent Security Deposits and Interest in New York City Small Claims Courts
    NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF LAW BUREAU OF CONSUMER FRAUDS AND PROTECTION RECOVERING RENT SECURITY DEPOSITS AND INTEREST IN NEW YORK CITY SMALL CLAIMS COURTS The following information is designed to assist consumers considering filing suit in small claims court to recover rent security deposits or interest. The clerks at small claims court will help you perform the steps we suggest. Please note that the Office of New York State Attorney General offers, as an alternative to filing a lawsuit, mediation services to assist tenants in recovering rent security deposits and interest. To access this Office’s mediation services, simply file a rent security complaint form with the Office of the New York State Attorney General, Bureau of Consumer Frauds and Protection at 120 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, New York, 10271. At the outset, you should consider whether a small claims action is likely to result in a paid-up judgment. You cannot commence a small claims action unless you can provide the defendant’s correct name and address for the clerk to mail a summons. Note that the defendant must reside or do business in the county where the court is located. Try to determine whether the defendant is still in business because, even if you win a judgment, you will be unable to collect on it if the defendant has no funds. Small claims courts can award judgments no higher than $5,000. In order to recover a larger sum, you will have to bring your suit in civil court. RENT SECURITY DEPOSITS If you seek to recover your rent security deposit, note that the landlord is entitled to withhold a sum to cover any unpaid rent and/or tenant-caused damage to the apartment.

  • Wisconsin Consumer Protection Laws Landlord-Tenant Practices
    Wisconsin Consumer Protection Laws Landlord-Tenant Practices Unfair Rental Practices The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) regulates unfair and deceptive business practices. DATCP has adopted a rule to protect residential tenants against unfair rental practices by landlords. This rule is found in Wisconsin Administrative Code chapter ATCP 134. Rule violators may be prosecuted, and there is a private remedy for tenants. Coverage ATCP 134 applies to nearly all of the 600,000 residential rental units in the state. However, it does not apply to: S Hospitals, institutions and similar care institutions. S Hotels, motels and similar facilities occupied on a transient basis. S Government-owned and operated facilities. S A dwelling unit operated by a fraternal or social organization solely for its members. S A dwelling unit furnished free of charge. S A dwelling unit occupied, under a real estate sales contract, by the purchaser of the dwelling unit. S A dwelling unit occupied by a tenant engaged in commercial agricultural activities on the premises. Rental Agreements S ATCP 134 does not require a written rental agreement. But if there is a written rental agreement, the landlord must give the tenant a copy. S A rental agreement may not do any of the following: C Authorize the landlord to evict a tenant, except by the eviction procedure prescribed under Wisconsin Statutes chapter 799. C Accelerate rent payment obligations when a tenant fails to pay rent, or waive the landlord’s obligation to mitigate damages by re-renting. C Require a tenant to pay the landlord’s attorney fees.

The Proper Scope of Article 9 and Statutory Interpretation in Consumer Class Actions R. Wilson Freyermuth" Assume that Jane Doe leases an automobile from a General Motors dealer, pursuant to a lease contract under which Jane makes a cash security deposit. Under the lease, the lessor agrees to "refund" the deposit at the conclusion of the lease term in the event that Jane fully performs her obligations under the lease. Is this transaction governed by Article 9-i.e., has the lessor taken a "security interest" in Jane's cash deposit to secure Jane's obligations under the lease agreement? A cursory review of the text of Article 9 suggests that Jane's lessor would hold a possessory security interest in Jane's deposit.

  • Tenant-Landlord Information: Security Deposits
    TENANT-LANDLORD INFORMATION: SECURITY DEPOSITS I. Overview Landlords who require a security deposit in a residential lease must meet certain requirements under Michigan law. The same law also has requirements for tenants who wish to have their security deposit returned. That law is called the Michigan Landlord and Tenant Relationships Act. MCL 554.601 et seq. (the “Act”). For example, under the Act, a security deposit cannot exceed one and a half months' rent. So, if your monthly rent is $500, the landlord cannot require a security deposit greater than $750. A security deposit may only be used for the following purposes: (a) To reimburse the landlord for actual damages (not cleaning expenses) not reasonably expected in the normal course of occupancy. (b) To pay the landlord for unpaid rent, rent due for the premature termination of the rental agreement, and for utility bills not paid for by the tenant. The landlord may also ask for a separate, non-refundable cleaning fee and pet fee. Because these are separate non-refundable fees, the landlord cannot deduct these fees from the security deposit, but they will also not be returned to you at the end of your lease. II. Landlord’s Obligations Residential landlord/tenant relationships are highly regulated by the state and security deposits are no exception. The security deposit must be deposited into a regulated financial institution (like a bank), and generally cannot be combined with the landlord's personal funds. In order to impose a security deposit, the landlord must do the following: (a) Within 14 days from the date the tenant moves in, the landlord must notify the tenant, in writing of: • the landlord’s name and address where tenant can send communications; • the name and address of the financial institution or surety (e.g., the bank) where the deposit will be held; • the tenant’s obligation to notify the landlord in writing of a forwarding address within 4 days after moving out.
