Question

If you get kicked out of a apartment to you get your deposit back?

Answer 1

Not usually.

Answer 2

Generally not.  It would certainly depend on the reason for which you are being evicted.  However, if the landlord expends money on the eviction process, he is entitled to deduct that from your deposit, as well as for any unpaid rents and damages.

If the total sum of those expenses exceeds your deposit, you will not only not get it back, but will probably be taken to small claims court for the difference.

Answer 3

Depends on why your getting kicked out. If you owe rent or there are damages that would be deducted and you'd get any balance.

Answer 4

It depends on why you got kicked out. Late rent, they will keep it, broken thing, they will keep it.

Answer 5

99% of the time No

Answer 7

Answer 8

Nope...you will lose your deposit and probably get sued for breach of lease.
