1. HOW MUCH OF A SECURITY DEPOSIT DO I HAVE TO PAY?
The law says that your landlord can ask for a security deposit equal to the amount of your monthly rent. The landlord cannot get more than that by saying you must pay a security deposit plus "last month's rent." For example, if your rent is $400, the landlord can ask for a total security deposit of up to $400.
2. WHAT SHOULD I GET FROM THE LANDLORD WHEN I PAY THE SECURITY DEPOSIT?

The part of the United States government that deals with taxes is called the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You report your tax to the IRS along with an IRS form. Doing this is called “filing a tax return.” Are you or your spouse working and receiving a paycheck? Did your employer withhold income taxes from your paycheck? You may get a tax refund.
