Security Deposit received late

[Yvsunshine]

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.

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.[/quote]

Next time you’re driving, pay attention to how many cars are driving with expired tags. It’s easy – if the year sticker is yellow, it’s 2010, they’re legal. If it’s blue and the month is earlier than June – they’re expired. If it’s orange, they’ve been driving on expired tags (breaking the law) since last year. I do this to fight boredom when I’m stuck in stop-n-go on the way home. I would estimate 1 in 20 cars have expired tags. People don’t care about the legal requirements to drive. If someone’s not paying their HOA, they’re probably not renewing their registration either.

[quote=DWCAP]So she took $1000, and you dont agree with the charges cause you didnt cause any damage? Or you want to see the reciepts cause you dont think the cost should have been that high? These are two different things. Did you take any pictures of the place before you left? Do you have a copy of the move in inspection, to prove damages are not your fault? [/quote]

here’s the big issue: did she supply you with an itemized list of things to correct on the day of your walk-thru?

yes, then you are responsible for those items and she can deduct them at her discretion.

no, take her to court, your chance of winning just went up tremendously.

No she didn’t supply me with any list to fix. I didn’t even know that she was supposed to offer to do a walk-through 2 weeks before we moved out, until I started researching.

Thanks for your help! I’m off to file a claim.
