Note:
late charges are regulated in some states; security deposits are controlled by law in
almost every state; a few, like W. Virginia, allow a lien on personal property, but most
do not. Landlord Tenant Law varies in each state. You can check your state's law in
this web, however, be sure that you always review any legal document with competent legal
council in your state before you use it.
