I Need Help With Security Deposit

By LESHONYA MCCLAY

The Rental Protection Agency DOES NOT provide rental assistance.
For Rental Aide, you will need to contact your local housing authority to apply for Section 8 welfare assistance.

I’ am renting my first Apartment, and I need assistance with security deposit.. I have no more funds at this moment. Who else I can go for Loan or some type of assistance. I have few questions on security deposit too. They are:

Can my landlord keep security deposit with him If do late payment?

What actually rent receipt means?

Can I have a sample of  some type of rental forms OR apartment lease form at any website?

Please help me.

Thank you.

In some states/counties there are assistance programs like WestCap (Wisconsin) who will cover the deposit or one month’s rent if you qualify and the rental passes inspection. You can also try local churches or local emergency assistance non-profits.

Try Westcap (in Wisconsin) or your local equivalent Housing assistance.
