security deposit disposition question
Tenant is always late in paying rent and did not even pay last month's rent. There is no high hope that they will pay for the repair cost after the property is vacant. Hence, I want to do the repair myself to minimize any damage cost.
Can I use home depot's receipt (material) as claimed to deduct on the security deposit disposition? If yes, how can I add on labor cost provided by me.
In fact, the unpaid cleaning fee and unpaid rent payment last month already contra off the security deposit.
