security deposit damage summary
I live in Washington State, and I have an ex tenant that left a significant amount of damage. We have sent a damage report to her but says she hasn't received it. She is a system scammer and has said this to my face several times. Its been over the 21 days I have to get it to her. Damages have been in the thousands, and I cant imagine having to go to court and still have to pay her damage deposit back. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or a plan to deal with someone like this?

Great registered mail,, so it was returned to you,, I hope you left it " unopened".. you take photo copy of the envelope, the copy of the receipt you got from postman and save that.. your have proof of proper service,, then ..simply resend the whole thing again.. you sent out the first time correctly.. you met the proper notice period and she's up a creek without a paddle and yes she owes you.. so PERFECT you have her address and now take her to small claims court and sue her for damages. We both know you probably won't collect a dime from her but you don't owe her another DIME.
GOOD JOB.. you got the sec dep statement out in time the first time..
