Well, i mean, technically in NY a landlord
has to hold a security deposit in an interest bearing account. I don't really know the mechanics of how that is supposed to work though. BTW this isn't some random guy renting me a room out of his house, I live in a complex, managed by a corporation, so I'm betting they're not doing anythign intentionally illegal. I'm just wondering if either they or the bank screwed up the paperwork.
