Tenant v. Cat Pee Smell v. Landlord
So I had lived in an apartment complex for about a year when I left about 2 months early for an internship. I paid for the next two months, so that isn't my problem.
My problem occurred months after I checked out. My roommate and I had parted ways. They were going to stay in the apartment until the lease was up and I was leaving early. There were no problems but I did my final walk through with the landlord and everything was great. She said there were no problems and that I have to worry about anything. I than wait for the next two months, while I was out of state, for my roommate to check out so we could process the security deposit.
They did the walk through and there were no problems and I called to verify. No problems. I then get a call about three weeks later stating that my roommate's room smelled like cat pee and that I was being held reliable. My ex-roommate hates cats and is slightly allergic so would always keep the door shut. My room which stored the cat litter and cat, had no smell. My cat is nine years old and I has never had a problem. I also didn't smell this when I did my final walk through and took my cat out of the house. What should I do?
Thanks

so send copy of paperwork back and ask for your full deposit as outlined in said copy of paperwork...
