EVIDENCE SIMULATION | Dim Guangzhou apartment. Landl... RentGuardian AI

Invalid Deduction Points

  • !
    Holding the entire deposit for an extended period to cover utility bills is unreasonable.
  • !
    Deducting more than the actual utility costs is not permissible.
  • !
    The landlord should provide itemized bills and promptly return the remaining deposit.
Legal Advice:The landlord's practice of holding the entire deposit for three months to cover potentially small utility bills is likely a violation of housing regulations. You have the right to demand an itemized bill and the return of the remaining deposit. If the landlord refuses, you can pursue legal action through small claims court. Gather evidence of previous utility bills and your lease agreement to support your claim.

My landlord in Guangzhou is trying to pull a fast one. My deposit was 5,000 RMB. He’s telling me that even though I moved out, he needs to keep the entire deposit for 'three months' to wait for the final electricity and water bills to arrive. He says if there’s anything left after he pays the bills, he might send it back. I know my monthly utilities are never more than 300 RMB. This feels like a blatant excuse to hold my money hostage until I leave the country. Help!"

EVIDENCE SIMULATION | Empty apartment. Final suitcas... RentGuardian AI

Invalid Deduction Points

  • !
    Landlord delaying deposit return based on 'bad market' is not a legally valid reason.
  • !
    Landlord is obligated to return the deposit within a reasonable timeframe after the lease ends, regardless of whether a new tenant has been found.
  • !
    The landlord cannot make the return of the deposit conditional on finding a new tenant.
Legal Advice:The landlord's reason for withholding the deposit is not legally justified under Chinese law. Send a formal legal demand letter stating the owed amount and a deadline for repayment. Mention intent to pursue legal action if the deposit is not returned by the deadline. The '12345' hotline may provide some assistance, but a formal legal letter from a lawyer will carry more weight.

My landlord is simply saying 'the market is bad' and he doesn't have the cash to pay back my 6,500 RMB deposit right now. He told me to wait until he finds a new tenant. It's been a month, the apartment is still empty, and I’m moving to a new city next week. I can't wait indefinitely. Does the '12345' hotline actually work for foreigners in this situation? I need a legal demand letter to show I’m serious.

  • !
    Requiring the tenant to wait indefinitely for a new tenant to be found is not a valid reason for withholding the deposit.
Legal Advice:The landlord's reason for withholding the deposit is invalid under Chinese law. You are entitled to the return of your full deposit. Sending a formal legal demand letter is a good first step. If the landlord still refuses to pay, consider filing a small claims lawsuit. Document all communication and evidence related to the lease and deposit.
