Tenant Not Depositing Security Refund in GA
Has anyone had a tenant not deposit a security deposit refund? It's been 95 days since she signed for it and I read that GA law allows me to keep it after 90 so I was thinking about canceling the check but I don't want to make any mistakes because I think I'm going to be taken to court by this tenant. Long story but she painted my house badly and put up her own lights then rewired everything backwards. She sent her grandfather to bully me at the final walk thru and she didn't attend. We had to have an electrician come out and we had to paint. I sent her an itemized deductions list and the remaining part of her deposit. She was very unhappy and said she would see me in court via email. Her grandfather also called the electrician bullying him making sure we actually paid an electrician. It's a mess but I know she got the check. Would you cancel it or just leave it alone? I don't want to deal with talking to her but I'm also tired of having a check pending.
