Re: Terminal Month's Rent

More | Report Post

I found the answer to my own question. Under California Civil
Code Section 1950.5 (b), the last month's rent deposited at
the beginning of the tenancy is considered to be part of the
security deposit. The landlord can therefore ask and collect
the current rate for the last month's rent. Depending on
local ordinances, you can or cannot increase your security
deposit during a tenancy.
