Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law. (lemmy.ml)

Shouldn't be a issue since landlords never lie to keep deposits right?

It's different in my region.

Landlords have been challenged to show when and why they withold deposits. It's not guaranteed but when brought to the board the tenant often wins unless the landlord can present a good case.

Then again, we only rent from companies for a reason.
