- If a landlord asks for money to hold an apartment (sometimes called a “reservation deposit”), it may not be clear to you that you are being asked for a security deposit. Before you pay any money, you should confirm with the landlord that it will be refunded if you decide not to rent or if the landlord decides not to rent to you. Ask the landlord to write that information on the receipt. It could save you from having to fight for it later. · oag.maryland.gov
