#20 Drastically reducing the security deposit below the monthly rental rate to attract renters -- Big Mistake. If you are in a province that allows the collection of a security deposit -- Collect the security deposit and make sure it is equal to one months rent. Advertising a reduced security deposit will just waste your time as it will attract the attention of "undesireable" renters looking for cheap move in costs.
