This one says "You pay the last month's rent when it's due". I
collect a Security Deposit equal to two months' rent. I'd been paying
5% interest on Security Deposits for many years before it was
mandated by local law.
I provide each tenant with a year-end statement showing the dates and
amounts of each rent payment along with any other charges (extremely
rare) or credits (such as the Security Deposit interest) that might
have happened. There's also an invitation to challenge my figures.
