The security deposit is equivalent to one month of rent.

Yes, the security deposit is cashed when you sign the lease.

The escrow amount is paid each month with your rent. The escrow amount goes into an account and Zafree Properties LLC will pay escrowed utilities upon receipt of your bills. If there is any remaining amount in your escrow account at the end of the lease term, after outstanding utility bills are paid, this amount will be refunded to you. If there is a deficit in your escrow account at any time, you will need to pay this amount. We review the escrow yearly to keep escrow amounts as accurate as possible.
