Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law. (lemmy.ml)

Shouldn't be a issue since landlords never lie to keep deposits right?

In Norway your deposit is payed into a special account in your name and both parties have to agree to it's release or settle in court. If the landlord takes some for repairs to abnormal damage (can't charge for "normal wear and tear") they have to provide proof that they used it for that (receipts etc).
