Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law. - eviltoast

Shouldn’t be a issue since landlords never lie to keep deposits right?

    My honest opinion? By the city. Yeah i know that introduces another layer of issues, but there needs to be some sort of integrity in place so there’s no conflict of interest coughutahlegislaturecough

      It’s important to prevent conflict of interests but asking the city to step in in every single rental agreement is not necessarily an effective solution. Someone else here suggested having the cost split between the tenant and the landlord, which has the merit of addressing the potential conflict of interest.
