First Turn over

Aaron Wolman
Posted

General question, I am turning over my first rental and I got the charges from my contractor on damage done and I want to see peoples opinion. 

Security Deposit: 2600

Lease states no smoking/painting walls/no hanging things on walls

Tenants have moved out and have left two truck loads of garbage to be removed.

Damaged door

Painted walls which got on the ceiling and trim 

Lots of holes on the walls throughout the house

Damage from windows being left open constantly 

Weed was clearly smoked in the house (smell throughout the place) so we need to deep clean

Water bill wasn't paid so I had to turn back on utility

Missing key

Quoted costs:

$450 junk removal (some furniture)

$935 for damaged doors/windows, painting cleaning

$30 for utility turn on

Tenants were only there for a year before moving out so a lot of this is beyond normal wear and tear. Looking for peoples opinions if the quoted costs are fair to take off the security deposit.

    Yes, these charges are fair. The law allows you to charge for ALL cleaning, including trash removal. You are allowed to charge for ALL damages beyond ordinary wear-and-tear. Nothing you mention is "ordinary" and you should charge for all of it.


    dodged a bullet there thats a very good price take it from the security deposit and call yourself lucky.
