唉。。。
不小心上来流一下。
这么多人因为deposit 的问题在烦脑
真是看不下去了。
难道大家不知道 一年前 法律就修改过了!!!现在最后一个月是不用给房租的。deposit就当是房租(如果你是一个月的deposit,如果是1.5个月就是说你最后1.5个月不用给房租)。
为什么大家还在这个问题上纠缠。
租之前去council 问清楚呀。
唉~
Please don't mislead people here...
You may decide to withhold the last month's rent in case the landlord refuses to return the deposit. But you are LEGALLY liable to pay rent and your landlord could take you to court to recover the rent.
If you do intend to withhold the last month's rent make sure your landlord can't claim any extra money from your deposit. Before withholding rent:
* repair any damage that may have occurred
* keep records to show the condition you leave the property in
* keep receipts for anything you have paid for, like cleaning
* keep the money in a separate bank account in case your landlord does try to claim it back.
