Re: Is Non-Refundable Holding Fee Unreasonable?

Barb, thank you I will consider this. But the security deposit is refundable by definition. A fee is not refundable. My state's LL/Tenant statutes do not mention a fee versus a deposit. This state is landlord friendly, and in the 53 eviction cases I sat through only one or two tenants won their cases.

So I would rather state: Having the lease signed ahead of time would let me receive the non-refundable holding/commitment fee and rent prior to giving them keys. I like that!
