Taking a refundable deposit is illegal in US and UK? That's hard to believe.--87.162.39.101 (talk) 23:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

United States Not North America
A small change, but I changed the original title "North America" to "United States" as the whole section talks only about the US and says nothing about Canada or Mexico.

About France, the possibility to buy the lease from a preceding tenant is possible only if the place is used for commercial purposes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.121.17.118 (talk) 08:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect.
"In the United Kingdom, it is illegal for landlords to require key money."

Total rubbish. Landlords are perfectly entitled to take a security deposit (same thing) against unpaid rent or damage done to the property. Recent (C. 3 years ago)changes in the law now require the deposit to be held by a third party. However, this still does not prevent unscrupulous landlords deducting unneeded cleaning costs from the deposit. 109.156.49.202 (talk) 15:26, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
