押金 (yā jīn): デポジット

Renting this apartment requires paying one month's deposit first; when you move out, if there is no damage, the landlord will refund it in full.

I paid a 500-yuan deposit with my credit card at the hotel front desk; at check-out, the clerk refunded the money directly to my card.

The car rental company requires the tank to be full when returning the car; otherwise, they will deduct the fuel cost from the deposit.

After inspection, the landlord found a hole in the wall and therefore deducted part of the deposit to repair it.

If you cancel the reservation in advance, the hotel will charge one night's room rate as a deposit, but it will not be refunded.

When signing the lease, the agent asked me to transfer the deposit and the first month's rent together to the landlord.
