Q and A with Prop West

Q) I just bought a tri-plex with existing tenants and the previous owner did not get security deposits. The building is not under rent control. Can I serve them a 30-day notice requesting that they pay a deposit?

A) Yes. You have the right to request that a security deposit is paid. You may do this by serving a 30-day notice. Remember that a security deposit cannot be more than two times the monthly rent.
