igénybetét

Igénybetét is a Hungarian term that translates to "claim deposit" or "security deposit" in English. It refers to a sum of money paid by a tenant or user to a landlord or service provider as a form of collateral. This deposit is intended to cover potential damages to property, unpaid rent, or outstanding service fees. The terms and conditions of the igénybetét are typically outlined in a contract between the parties involved.

Upon the termination of the lease agreement or service contract, provided there are no outstanding debts or damages attributable to the tenant or user, the igénybetét is usually returned. The process for returning the deposit, including any deductions for damages or unpaid amounts, is also specified in the contract. If disputes arise regarding the return of the deposit, legal avenues may be pursued. The concept of igénybetét is common in rental agreements for apartments, houses, and commercial properties, as well as in various service contracts where the provider needs assurance against potential liabilities. It serves as a financial safeguard for the provider, offering them recourse in case of default or damage.
