    Default Rejecting a Lease in Bankruptcy and Recovering a Security Deposit

    Michigan

    If you reject your lease in bankruptcy is it still possible to get your security deposit back? We were told not to pay April's rent since we are rejecting the lease. Can they company keep our deposit even if nothing's wrong with the unit? We're moving out tomorrow. Thanks!!

    It's up to the court but you must realize, you are breaking the lease. I suspect the LL will be allowed to keep the deposit to minimize his damages.
