It is amazing to me that you clearly state you DID NOT BREAK THE LEASE. You stated “”””””””””””””””””””””””””””Either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this lease at the expiration of said Lease or any extension thereof by giving the other thirty (30) days written notice prior to the due date.””””””””””””””””””””””

Yet…..you have so many saying “you broke a lease, be happy they don’t get you for more” or something to that effect.

Wear and tear is not considered damage unless it is excessive. If you are familiar with the small claims process it wouldn’t hurt to pursue it. However, lets say there was damage before you moved in. An example would be a red glass ring on the white cultured marble in the bathroom. Did you document that red ring before you moved in? It would be your word against his unless you wrote down every bit of preexisting damage on the move in report.
