1 month or $100 max deposit. Required condition statement. These are often the clauses renters can raise before signing because they directly affect cost, access, or the landlord's obligations after move out.
Where boilerplate can drift offside
Landlords often reuse one lease packet across multiple states. In New Hampshire, that creates the most friction when deposit, notice, or late-fee wording ignores the local rule set or skips a state-specific disclosure entirely.
