How long do you have to be renting a place to get your deposit back?If you leave before the year lease is

Question

up do you get it back

Answer 1

If you signed a yearly lease and you leave before the year is up, you will not receive your deposit back because you broke the contract.

Answer 2

Read your lease agreement.

Answer 3

you have to give a 30 day notice (unless your lease say's longer) then  leave the place in great condition...you will get your deposit back....take pics of the place after you get your things out so that you have proof how you left it! and make sure that you dont owe any monies for rent....you will get it back

Answer 4

Getting a deposit back is an iffy proposition at best.  If you break your lease, that is leave before the lease expires, I'd estimate your chance of getting your deposit back at less than 0.

Answer 5

Hi there

It is upon on the agreement between two parties, you and landlord when to sign a rental agreement, it is a monthly or quaterly or annually.

If you breach the contract/ rental agreement I do not see much chance for you to get a rental deposit back. if you dont breach the contract, You would think you will get back in two weeks.

good Luck

Answer 6

the land lord may wait until apt is rented, since you broke your lease.

Answer 7

i think it depends what condition the apartment was left in

Answer 8

Before you plan on moving out, read your lease agreement.  If you signed a contract stating that you would be in the residence for a year, then legally you are obligated to stay.  You may be held accountable for paying the rent until the lease is up.  There may be some exceptions and/or loopholes that could be applicable so make sure you read all the fine print.

Answer 9

Getting your deposit back is largely determined by the laws where you live

(try this link : http://www.rentlaw.com/statelist.htm)

and by your rental agreement.

Regardless of your deposit, if you have a one year lease and leave early, you're probably going to owe more (cancellation fees, etc).  You may even have to keep paying rent on the place until the landlord finds a new tenant or the year you agreed to rent for ends.

If you post some more information (at least the state you live in, how long you've been there, why you need to move, etc) we might be able to offer more advice.

Since you posted the same question twice, I'm not sure which one you're monitoring.  I'll go ahead and post this same answer in both in hopes that you can provide more details.

Answer 10

Depends on what it says in your lease, but it's common for your deposit to be forfeited if you break the lease.
