VRBO question - homeowner asking for separate check for security deposit. Is this normal?
Looking at a place for the end of September. Contacted the property owner tonight and asked how long it would take for the security deposit ($500) to come back to me after I check out. She responded that, if the house was left in good condition, she just wouldn't cash the check. I can kind of see how it makes sense (since it saves her having to cut me a check for the $500 after my stay if I were to pay that amount via VRBO), but I also feel it's a little strange to give her a check for $500 that she says she won't cash. Also, and this is worst case stuff, and not that I'll do any damage to the place, but what if the damages were less than $500? I'd have to track her down for some itemized receipt? This feels weird, but I'm also brand new to the world of VRBO, Airbnb, etc., so it may be completely normal. Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated.
