Answer to Question 1

The following issues are important. Under the URLTA, the landlord can collect various deposits, but must list them and reveal whether they will be refundable. In addition, the amounts are limited. For example, a typical provision is that the total amount of deposits cannot exceed 1  times the monthly rent. If so, the landlord here would have a problem. In addition, states differ on whether prepaid rent is considered part of the security deposit. The security deposit cannot exceed one month's rent so if the prepaid rent is included, the landlord here has gone over the URLTA maximum.

Answer to Question 2

D
