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?

Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

Assuming US, it actually depends on the state (may be all states, but I can only speak of those I've lived in). The law is that the money must go into a separate interest bearing account and that is the money that is to be returned. So the money isn't supposed be their own pocket.
