Security deposits should be held by the municipality. Should the landlord wish to claim it, they can prove their case in court.

Fuck the status quo forever. Unforgivable.

    Here in Germany you deposit it in a bank and not one party alone can access it. It’s called “social law”, not “socialism”. Many things broken here, that one thing isn’t.

      Works like that in Belgium as well.

      France trusts that people will be nice but if landlords play dumb there’s 10% interest per month after one month, and it can be expedited in small claims court if you prove bad faith and/or fraud.
