How much can my landlord charge me at the beginning of my tenancy?

Submitted by cakinney on

By law, at the beginning of your tenancy, your landlord can only charge you:

  1. Rent for the first month;
  2. Rent for the last month;
  3. A security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent; and
  4. The actual cost of purchasing and installing a door lock and key.

If you have been charged more than this, including being charged a key fee, an application fee, or a pet fee, please submit an intake form to request services from SLSO.
