The landlord cashed your guarantee cheques without warning

A guarantee may only be used in the cases the contract and the law allow, for the amount actually owed, and after giving the tenant notice and a real chance to put things right. Cashing it silently for a disputed amount is not the same as a legitimate deduction. First step: ask in writing for the exact breakdown and the receipts behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Can NakonRent help review Landlord cashed guarantee checks without notice?

It can prepare a structured reading, checklist and action text. It does not replace the official authority or a lawyer.

Why not always publish exact amounts?

Because benefits, discounts and tariffs change. Amounts are published only when there is a current source and clear date.

Can I use it before signing?

Yes. That is the main use: detecting risks before handing over checks, deposit or guarantees.
