Re: sercuity deposit
It depends on your lease agreement with the landlord. If the rent is late there is usually a late fee chargeable to you as additional rent. If the landlord can deduct it from your security deposit (demanding you replace the deducted funds) is another question. You should be asking someone who is a LANDLORD TENANT attorney...not a debt collector.
