Our landlord kept $1100 of our $1595 security deposit
No you are not entitled to receipts. The landlord can charge you even if he does it himself equal to what he’d pay someone else. In no way am comparing what I’m going to say just general info. I was a landlord for twenty years and what the deposit covers is wildly misunderstood. It is not to be usedRead more
No you are not entitled to receipts. The landlord can charge you even if he does it himself equal to what he’d pay someone else. In no way am comparing what I’m going to say just general info. I was a landlord for twenty years and what the deposit covers is wildly misunderstood. It is not to be used for the last months rent. It’s to put the unit back to wear it was when the tenant moved it. Allowable look e charges are these:
See less-Repairs beyond general maintenance that weren’t reported, screens, door knobs, locks etc.
-Painting is general maintenance and wear and tear except if the damage to the paint is excessive given the amount ic time the tenant lived there.
-carpet cleaning. No matter how clean you left it it’s required. So don’t bother cleaning it yourself just vacuum well. And you will be charged for repairs or even the replacing if there are large holes, stains, or excessive damage.
-Deep cleaning, even if you clean, it still needs to be gone over and sanatized.
-Any holes in the walls or drywall damage, which is a process no matter the size.
-Cleaning the refrigerator. It’s amazing how gross people leave refrigerators.
-Also amazing, how gross people leave cabinets.
-power washing and any yard work that the tenant was responsible for and didn’t to.
-Disposing of items and garbage left in the unit.
-Batteries for smoke detectors.
-Repair if all handrails, railings it’s.
-repair of non working appliances.
If you didn’t report these things before you gave notice, you will be charged.
What they can’t charge for us normal wear and tear for carpet and painting if you’ve lived there for awhile.
If a tenant was a smoker they will be charged to wash the walls regardless. The amount of nicotine in the walls is amazing and it’s hard to get off.
Anyway hope this helps.

The way the law reads it seems he is required to give an itemized bill. Further he had to notify you in writing that he planned to keep part (or all) of the deposit no later than 35 days after move out. You would then have 15 days to dispute in writing. So were all these steps followed?

Your insurance should just be denying this, I would speak to your agent. As the policy holder, they should be speaking to you anyway.

Go for full physical custody, and accept nothing less. My experience with my stepdaughter, the mom gets away with everything. My husband hadn’t seen his daughter since she was 12. Spent thousands of dollars on motions for contempt, all for the judge to dismiss. Even though we had police reports stating mom refused to turn over the child for visitation. We didn’t see her again until she was 19 and on her own. In that time, mom ruined their relationship by telling her lies, including “he doesn’t want anything to do with you”.
