Agree how the deposit comes back

Most questions about a security deposit arise at the end of a lease, but the answers are easier to agree at the start. When you sign, write down the deposit amount, who will hold it, what may be deducted from it and how and when it will be returned after you move out. Ask what you will need to provide at that point, such as final utility bills, keys and access cards. Example: a tenant leaves a Khalifa City villa and waits weeks because nobody agreed which final bills were needed. A short clause or signed note covering these points gives both sides the same expectations from the first day. Keep it with your contract and receipts, so the end of the lease follows a plan rather than a debate. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.
