Deducting lock change from security deposit
I just closed on a property with an inherited tenant. The tenant is moved out and really hasn't caused any noticeable damage, however I did not receive a move in condition report from the previous owner.
I do have the tenants security deposit, which I am planning to return all of, but I was wondering if I can deduct the cost to re-key the unit from the security deposit. There is nothing specifically stated about re-keying charge in the lease. Thanks.
