Keep in mind, SureDeposit will only pay out what's been collected in premiums. For instance, you have $448.50 banked (5 people moved in and paid an $89.70 premium). Two people get evicted, trashes their apartment and moves out owing you $2500. Even though they both had a surety bond of $500 each, you won't get $1000.... you will get the $448.50 that you banked. You can still pursue collections through normal channels, but you won't get a full $1000 up front.
