Is there a cap on the security deposit?

There is no legal cap for commercial leases. For residential leases, the usual market practice is up to 3 months' rent, though the law does not mandate this.

Can I raise the rent during the lease?

Only if the contract explicitly allows it (e.g. inflation-index clause). Unilateral increases without the tenant's consent are regulated for indefinite-term residential leases.

How do I properly terminate a residential lease?

The notice must be in writing. The tenant can give notice without reason with 1 month's notice. The landlord can only terminate on legally defined grounds.

What if the tenant damages the property?

The landlord is entitled to compensation for damage beyond fair wear and tear. An inventory protocol with photos is key evidence in such disputes.
