My old Landlord is abusing my security deposit?
I gave proper notice. I left the apartment spotless, and I took pictures. I even had the carpets professionally cleaned. I just learned the the Landlord is charging me for venetian blinds that were broke when I moved in. On top of that, he wants me to pay for a drain stopper in the bathroom-which was missing when I moved in. My bathroom vanity was also broken from day 1 and he wants to charge me for that too! I gave him a list when I moved in. He advised me that those things were not in serious need of repair. Now that I moved out, he wants me to pay for all of them. I took pictures of the place before I left. He refused to give me an itemized invoice. Too me, he is being rediculous and unreasonable. I was told by a neighbor, that this guy has a reputation for withholding as much as he can or not refunding the security deposit. What do I do?
Lol, abusing. You make it sound as if the Landlord is whipping the security deposit.
Check the rent security deposit return rules for your state. Then, pay a small fee and take your landlord to small claims court. You request whatever the maximum amount is for failure to properly return the security deposit. Depending on the state, I've seen double and triple the deposit, plus the filing fee. If the landlord calls you to negotiate, do not take less than 1.5 times the deposit since he/she made you go as far as to take legal action. If landlord flips you the bird go to court. Since it appears your are in the right, do not negotiate unless you get the maximum amount or whatever amount makes you happy. Do not settle for less. If the landlord doesn't comply, see the judge and you will probably get the max damages. In court, the judge will decide who is telling the truth.
