These explanations provide general information and do not replace an assessment of individual circumstances.
Short questions
Which distinction matters?
A deposit should not automatically be treated as the last rent payment. The agreement, payment records, handover condition and reasons for deductions need consideration together. Retention or return depends on the circumstances.
What can I share for an initial assessment?
The property location, whether the issue concerns rent or ownership, and contract or notice dates can help. Mention any current title record or formal notice.
Does this guidance establish the same outcome in every case?
No. This page explains general concepts. Documents, the countries involved and the sequence of events can change the assessment. A particular procedure or outcome requires consideration of the individual circumstances.
