In Mississippi, landlords must hold security deposits in a separate bank account used only for that purpose. They cannot comingle the deposits with their own funds. Landlords must return the full security deposit to the tenant within 45 days after the lease ends or the tenant moves out.
If the tenancy ends early, in most circumstances, the landlord will be entitled to keep the deposit to cover the costs of renting the property to a new tenant. The landlord is also entitled to rent payments if the property is empty while they look for a new tenant.
Typically, the total move-in costs for renting an apartment are all paid up-front. The first and last months rent and the security deposit are paid after you sign the lease but before you are handed the keys.
