If all or part of the deposit may be withheld to indemnify the landlord for damages to the premises for which the tenant is responsible, the rental agreement shall be in writing and shall so specify.
No such deposit shall be withheld on account of normal wear and tear resulting from ordinary use of the premises.

- The landlord must provide an inspection checklist signed by both parties stating the condition and cleanliness of the premises along with a written rental agreement.
The tenant has the right to request one free replacement copy of the written checklist.
