Tenants' Security Deposits: The Law and Accounting Landlor

[giodazip]

Justin, I have a question for you, what happens after say the lease ends, and you raise the rent. Lets say 2% on a $1000 rent, doesn't the tenant have to give you that 2% raise for the security also? How do you prevent a tenant from not paying the last months rent when he/she is moving out, before you can check the apt? I know the lease says they have to pay , and you(landlord) have to inspect, but in reality it never works out that way. I look forward to your answer. (i'm also in NYC). Joe S
