Tenants security deposit

Zachary Fisher
Posted
Good afternoon guys, just discovered this a couple days ago and have been reading no stop! I guess you can say it's my new addiction! I have a question about tenants security deposit and haven't been able to find much on it. I have a currently have one home that I rent out. Current tenants lease was up Nov 1. I have not returned the security deposit. Contract says I have 30 days to return. After they left I inspected and the place is trashed. New fridge has 5 dents. Stove/cook top is disgusting with grease every where. Bathrooms nasty, 2 broken ceiling fans, broken closet doors, list goes on. My question is what can I charge them for? Like the stove is 2 years old and it wont lite! I have to use a lighter to get it to fire. Fridge is 8 months old and all dented up. So far I have 14 hours in cleaning with 2 rooms to go and that don't count painting or fixing the 147 nail holes through out the house. Can I charge for my time? New stove, fridge? I'm in up state NY if that even matters. Thanks in advance!
