What It Is
Security Deposit (Rental) is the deposit held in connection with a tenancy to cover specified risk, damage, or default scenarios. This stub exists to classify the term cleanly, set its boundary, and route the user to the correct adjacent concepts without over-expanding into duplicate depth.
What It Is Not
It is not the whole tenancy relationship by itself and it should be read in context with the contract and registration stack.
Where It Sits In Process
This term belongs at the tenancy-onboarding stage before or at the start of occupation. The stub should classify that position clearly and then route to the adjacent pages that carry the rest of the explanatory load.
