You are going to rent a flat and pay a deposit (depositum). Where should the deposit be kept?

In the exam (Norwegian)

Du skal leie en leilighet og betale depositum. Hvor skal depositumet være?

  1. aIn cash, which you give to the landlord when you get the keysI kontanter, som du gir utleieren når du får nøklene
  2. bIn a separate deposit account at the bank, in the tenant's namePå en egen depositumskonto i banken, i navnet til leierenCorrect answer
  3. cIn the landlord's private account, in the landlord's namePå den private kontoen til utleieren, i utleierens navn

Why?

The law says that the deposit must be put in a separate account in the tenant's name. Then the landlord cannot use the money freely, and the tenant is safer.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Norwegian, as shown above.
