Can I use security deposit to clean up/restore the yard
Hi all, I have a SFH in King County, Washington not in Seattle. I am not renewing on the tenant who should move out soon. Among the other things the tenant did not do the yard work for at least six month to a year and the yard is looking pretty bad. I don't think that the tenant will do anything with the yard before vacating the property. Can I use the tenant's security deposit to clean up/restore the yard? Considering the local anti landlord laws what would be the best way to handle this to avoid any potential issues from the legal perspective? Thank you.
