Security Deposit Questions
Hi! We moved out of our apartment in San Francisco on May 29th. Our landlord took out over 2000 from our security deposit for "repairs" to items that were previously damaged. For example he took $1000 to redo, restain, repair hardwood floors. I noted in my move in report that the floors were scratched and scuffed and have a picture of the floors. He also said we need to pay for new windows since several of them had long cracks on them (they're single paned windows and prob 40 years old) My question is he sent us good faith estimates of the repairs. Its been over a month and we know for a fact that the new tenants moved in yesterday so plenty of time to do these said repairs. Don't they have to send us actual invoice of the repairs? I don't believe they will do any repairs at all and just take our money for things we didn't even do. thanks!
