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?

I mean, the court will definitely be involved if i don't get my deposit plus interest back.

I had to sue for my security deposit once. It's very common in the US for landlords to fraudulently keep some or all of the security deposit.
