Basically, the security deposit serves the basic purpose of being Caution Money in the hands of the owner to secure unpaid license fees if the tenant defaults in paying it on time. It is always advisable to have 3-6 months license fee as deposit to cover any eventualities and avoid litigation between owners and licensee.
