Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law. (lemmy.ml)

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

When I was in Belgium I had to open a specific bank account for it. The money was then blocked on this account.

To release the money both me and the landlord had to find an agreement and sign the release documents. If we could not find an agreement then we would have to go to a judge to decide who gets what.

And at the end you get the deposit back+interests.

I liked this solution, it felt fair for both parties.
