Security deposit deductions.

[Brandon Luke]

We just movedout of the duplex we lived in for four years. We just got our security deposit back minus some deductions, that they itemized out for us. Most of them I'm fine with, a couple I don't like, but understand. But the deduction that bothers me the most is $110 for painting. Is it just me or is a white wall that needs painted over after four years of a young family living there, just normal wear and tear? I've scoured my rental agreement, And the only thing I can find is one line item that says "upon vacating the rental at the termination of the rental agreement, all cleaning, including but not limited to throw vacuuming, curtain and blind cleaning is the responsibility of the tenant." Am I right to be upset about this? And what recourse do I have? I have not yet cashed the check.
