Security Deposit Guide

WEAR & TEAR SECURITY DEPOSIT GUIDE

We may use some of your security deposit to restore your home to the way it looked and functioned when you moved in, assuming normal wear and tear.

Expect to receive your refund to the forwarding address you provide within 30 days after your move-out date. Security deposit return timelines may vary by state. An itemized statement of deductions and your deposit return will be sent to you within one month of moving out of your home. Please contact your Portfolio Director if you do not receive your security deposit within your state’s return timeline.

All homes age with use, so you are not liable for natural aging of the home. Items considered normal wear and tear include:

Normal Wear and Tear

  • Small scratches in the paint
  • Small nail holes from pictures
  • Minor scuffs in flooring
  • Traffic patterns in carpet

Your deposit will only be deducted when damages caused to the property are more than reasonable wear and tear. Examples of items that will cause deductions include:

Deducted

  • Large scratches in the paint
  • Large stains in carpet/flooring
  • Large holes and drywall repair
  • Excessive lawn overgrowth
