I'm renewing my contract at my school for another year. Along with my contract, I'm being asked to put up another 900,000 Security deposit for my Officetel.

And I'm not moving to a new Officetel.

Is this normal? Do we really have to fork over 900,000 every year?

Thanks!

No. Your school forked it up. Just say thanks but no thanks.

If your school is asking for this while they already have your original 900, they must truly be morons.

Same thing happened with mine. Renewed my contract. They gave me back my deposit and then asked for it back, so I gave it back. I felt asking why would just give me a headache so I decided not to.

Did they originally take out 300,000/pay for your first three months?

Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah, they took out the 900,000 from my first year here. So I went and talked to them about it.

In the end, I don't have to pay (again). Woot.
