Is there a deposit for renting a house?

A deposit is required for renting a house, as follows:

1, the rental deposit is generally agreed by both the tenant and the landlord, and the actual deposit will generally not exceed two months;

2. In order to ensure that the house and its household appliances are not illegally resold, the tenant generally agrees to pay the landlord's rental deposit after deducting the utilities, and there will be corresponding invoices after receiving the deposit;

3. Among them, we should find a formal intermediary company, preferably a national chain intermediary company. It is best for the intermediary to introduce the owner to review the relevant documents and sign a rental contract, which is more conducive to protecting their rights and interests;

4. Unless otherwise agreed in the lease contract, the lessee shall return the full deposit to the lessee without interest on the day after the lease relationship is terminated and the landlord moves out, and settle all the fees payable;

5. The landlord can deduct the liquidated damages, damages and other related expenses arising from the landlord's violation of the provisions of this contract from the deposit, and the insufficient part of the tenant must make up within 10 days after receiving the landlord's payment notice;

6. If the tenant cannot rent the house normally during the lease period due to the landlord's reasons, the landlord shall immediately return the deposit in full to the tenant without interest, and the tenant has the right to investigate the landlord's liability for breach of contract.
