Maximum deposit for rent: What you need to know
Questioner
The rent is €750 for my home. What is the maximum deposit that can be asked?Lawyer
There is no maximum. A deposit of 2 or 3 times the monthly rent is usual.Lawyer
There is no legal minimum or maximum. However, the courts use 2 to 3 months' rent as a reasonable maximum.Lawyer
Parties can freely agree whether or not to pay a deposit. You are therefore not obliged to pay a deposit. You can therefore negotiate this with your landlord. You see that it is common for a landlord to ask for approximately 2 or 3 months' rent. If you do not agree to this, there is a chance that you will not be able to rent the property. Try to negotiate this with the landlord first before you agree.Take the next step
