Home Owner requesting a security deposit

While browsing available sits, I came upon a sit where the HO are requesting the sitter give them refundable security deposit. I have never seen this before! Even though the sit is one that I would think about applying for, with that request I am not going to consider it. I feel that it’s displaying a lack of trust from the HO and I would be worried the entire time that they would be looking for anything to find fault with the sitter.
Thoughts?

Seconds later? Report to THS.

Final thoughts? - echo @Amparo

I’m a HO and would definitely say that’s not on, big red flag there!
