Security Deposit received late

I can confirm that used to be true for judgements that were the result of traffic incidents. (I had an uninsured driver hit me back in the 80’s and sued for damage to my motorcycle.) I had to file my small claims judgement with the DMV.

That actually makes more sense than the information I got from my source. I’ll check into it and post when I get a reliable answer. Although, it sure would make getting claims settled easier if, essentially, you couldn’t drive until you settled the claim.

Nasty landlords give all us LLs a bad name.
The fact that she did not comply with the 21-day rule makes it worthwhile for you to pursue this (I assume you have the date-stamped envelope from her).
File a claim for the full $1700), after first sending her a demand letter.
Good chance the judge will award you the remainder of the deposit. They properly assume the LL is the party that should know and strictly comply with the law.

It is too late for you know but in the future as a renter (in CA) you can do a walk through with the landlord before you move out. The Landlord must tell you what if anything needs to be done. Get it in writing.

Both. Some of the charges she made such as carpet cleaning ($350), seems like way too much. Especially when in the lease it stated that she would take $50 from the deposit for that very reason. She told me during the final walk-through that she had to do a “special” cleaning because I had a pet.

I even patched up holes that were caused due to hanging up pictures and mirrors, because I didn’t want her to charge me. She charged me ($225) to fix my attempt and paint these small patches. I did make a mistake by not taking pictures (I have definitely learned for next time)… But there was never an initial inspection, because during move-in she didn’t have the form and said she would do it with us later and never did.
