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?

That sounds like a way more reasonable system! As far as I'm aware it's not super common here (Netherlands) for landlords to not pay back the deposit but it is entirely in their hands :(

Well, still plenty of dogdy landlords who take advantage of people who don't know about that requirement and either take it for themselves or push renters towards "resolving disputes between themselves" and not involving the bond authority at end of lease time.
