A security deposit is a fee you pay when
signing a lease. If something is damaged
in your apartment, the funds to repair
the damage are drawn from the security
deposit. If nothing is damaged, then you
have the best chance of getting your deposit
back when you leave your apartment.
When it comes to daily living in your
apartment in Alachua,
FL, you can protect your security
deposit by:
- Following the lease terms to the letter.
- Paying rent on time every month.
- Frequently wiping down cabinets and
vacuuming floors.
- Cleaning the carpet as soon as possible
anytime there are spills or other messes,
which helps prevent staining.
- Telling the office right away about
any repairs you need. (If you wait to
tell us about a needed repair, it could
result in a more extensive and costly
problem.)
- Removing garbage from the apartment
frequently.
- Washing your kitchen and bathroom
floors weekly.
- Regularly cleaning your stove, oven,
microwave, and refrigerator.
- Maintaining windows and windowsills
by dusting and cleaning often.
- Cleaning and maintaining small, often
overlooked items and fixtures, including
switch plates, crown moldings, and entryways.
- Running ventilation fans for ½
hour after cooking and for ½
hour after showering to remove moisture
from your home.
