Description

The Security Deposit Addendum is a critical document used in rental agreements to outline the management of the security deposit associated with the property. It includes information about the lessor and lessees and specifies that the security deposit will remain with the lessor until all individuals vacate the premises and fulfill their financial responsibilities. The addendum presents three distinct options for disbursing the security deposit upon termination of the rental agreement, allowing tenants to select how they wish to handle the refund: equal division among all tenants, distribution to the last individual remaining, or direct payment to the individual who initially paid the deposit. Each tenant must initial the selected paragraph to confirm their agreement. This form provides essential clarity on the terms related to the security deposit for all parties involved. It is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need to ensure compliance with rental laws and protect the interests of their clients. By utilizing this form, legal professionals can help prevent disputes over security deposit returns and establish clear expectations for all tenants.
