    What are the rules regarding security deposits for maintenance?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    When entering into a Lease Contract, a Landlord is permitted to collect a security deposit from the Tenant. The legal purpose of this deposit is to ensure that funds are available for the maintenance of the property once the lease expires. Upon the conclusion of the contract, the Landlord is under a strict obligation to refund the deposit, or whatever balance remains after legitimate repairs, to the Tenant. This system provides financial security for the Landlord while ensuring the Tenant's funds are returned if they fulfil their upkeep duties.
