Hi Everyone,
I am moving condo's this weekend, and the new condo requires a security deposit of $500 to be paid prior to moving in (in case of damages to the facilities during the move I assume)...However, every removalist company i approach insists this fee is to be paid by the tenant, not the removalist company. Can anyone explain the logic of this to me? Why would the tenant pay a deposit for potential damages that would be caused by the removalist? Shouldn't the removalist pay this?
I assume i will end up having to pay this fee, hopefully there is a contract i will sign with the removalist to confirm they are in fact liable for all damages...just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with this situation
Cheers
