I agree that $6000 is a big chunk of money for tenants to come up with but when the chunk is $1950, I don't have much sympathy. I really don't want tenants who can't scrape together $2000 to pay for their living arrangements. In my opinion, those people are living too close to the wire and one financial upset will send them over the edge. Thor,

Lately many tenants have not had enough money to pay last months rent as well. The security deposit is not last month rent and I have had to explain this to many tenants who seem act like it is last months rent. Collecting it to move in would be a great solution to my problem tenants but where do you get tenants with $6000 to move in?

Some tenants have little or know respect for where they live. Some landlords are afraid of taking the security deposit, I say you should not as long as you are within your rights and know the law.
