How can I make security deposit be used towards last month’s rent !? I have been trying to be extremely nice and supportive to the landlord to get the house ready for showings as we plan to move but he has not been making any effort. Even after giving 3 months notice, now he says he won’t do showings till we leave the house. Earlier he had committed to showings in May so we can get out of our lease early and not have to pay for the last month’s rent in June. This is in Georgia

A landlord isn’t going to do that assuming there will some repairs they have to do with that security deposit. You should just straight up ask the landlord.

Yeah 100% pay.. take video of your move out and leave a forwarding address to help get it refunded. Check laws also, typically if you don’t get an itemized list of deductions within 15 days you will get it all back. Or more if you have to go to small claims.

That's not really how it works. If you leave early, generally you forfeit your last months rent and security deposit because you are breaking the lease agreement. Even with advanced notice, he doesn't have to give you anything at that point. He may also sue you for breaking the lease. I would be careful about how you proceed, unless you have something in writing and notarized from him saying he agreed to let you out of your lease early, this could end badly for y'all.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
