(1) All landlords of residential property requiring security deposits prior to occupancy shall be required to deposit all tenants security deposits in an account used only for that purpose, in any bank or other lending institution subject to regulation by the Commonwealth of Kentucky or any agency of the United States
Kentucky law allows landlords to deduct the following from security deposits: Unpaid rent. Damage repairs beyond normal wear and tear. Utility bills or other charges that the tenant didnt pay. Cleaning costs if the unit was left unreasonably dirty. Rekeying costs if the tenant didnt return all keys.
If the tenant and landlord cant docHub a compromise, the tenants best remedy is to sue the landlord for the money withheld, leaving it up to the small claims court judge to decide who is telling the truth.
