[blindlaw] A quick question

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

In some states an escrow deposit is a deposit that a tenant would make in to 
an escrow account in lieu of a rent payment while there is a dispute with a 
landlord. The money is placed in to a bank account where it is held until 
the matter is resolved if a claim was filed in court. It is usually done 
when there are questions or disputes regarding habitability of premises or 
where maintenance might not have been done in a timely manner. As I am not 
an attorney and don't know the state where you reside I would recommend that 
you consult with an attorney. If you are involved in a land lord-tenant 
dispute there are services available to you through many legal aid programs. 
You can also consult with your local bar association for referrals.
