It will be used as security for your compliance with your obligations under the Lease Agreement. We may deduct any costs resulting from your failure to comply with any agreement in the Lease. The security deposit is not to be used for the payment of rent without Raleigh Management’s written consent. The security deposit will be returned to you only if all of the following conditions are met: All due rent has been paid. Vacated premises are left in clean condition. All keys are returned to landlord. No abandoned articles are left in the Apartment. The Tenant understands and agrees that upon vacating the Apartment, the Tenant must thoroughly clean the kitchen appliances (including refrigerator, stove and oven), thoroughly clean all bathroom fixtures, wash and wax the wood and linoleum floors, and shampoo the carpet. Any cleaning expenses incurred by Landlord to return the Apartment to the same condition as when the Tenant moved in, allowing for reasonable wear and tear, shall be paid by the Tenant from the security deposit. A forwarding address is furnished. After the above conditions have been met, your deposit will be sent to your new address within 30 days. You are not able to withhold payment of the last month’s rent on grounds that the security deposit serves as security for the unpaid rental. Can I sublet my apartment?
