While a security deposit may be pretty standard when you decide to move into a new apartment, it is still a good idea to find ways to make it more likely that you will be able to get most, if not all, of that money back when it is time to move out. You could use that money to help with a new apartment or even with some of the expenses of moving into a new home. Some of the steps that you can take to make it easier to get that security deposit back include:

 # Keep the apartment in good shape: It is a lot easier to maintain the condition of the apartment compared to trying to do some quick fixes before you need to move out. Always keep the area clean and if there are some repairs that need to get done, let the landlord know as soon as you can.
# Provide the proper notice for moving out: This notice will depend on where you live, but is typically 30-days. This helps give the landlord some time to prepare too. 

# Document the unit when you move in: Take pictures of each room and do a move-in inspection with the landlord. This is going to give you a good point of reference when it is time to move out. The landlord will not be able to blame you for damages that were already there. 

# Document the unit when you move out: You can take the time to clear out all of your stuff from the apartment, and then take pictures to prove the state of the apartment when you were gone. If the landlord claims there was a big mess or a lot of damages that were not present when you left, those pictures can help you out there. 

# Do a move out walk-through: This is a good time for you and the landlord to discuss the unit and any issues that may show up for them. The landlord can then give you a good idea on how much they will take from the security deposit and may cut you a check right then.
