Here is a email my property manager sent me after I moved out saying we will be getting are deposit back. The next day day I get a phone call saying he has to get his painter over to repaint and the deposit will be charged I never add to the charges after a walk through if I missed something I assumed it was on me.
Hey Guys,
Following our move out inspection today there was not any damage to note and the place was very clean and in good shape. Thank you for taking such good care of the place!
Given that we have found a new tenant to move in very shortly after you moved out, we will not be charging a full month rent for the early termination fee. We simply ask that you pay for our leasing expense to find and secure the new tenant - which is 50% of the rent = $775.
As we discussed, you will set utilities to terminate on Wednesday, 4/1. Meanwhile I will work with the new tenant to have things switched to her name on that day.
So, here is the final summary of your account:- Early term fee discounted to $775 (50% of rent)- Security deposit & pet deposit held = $1,900- Refund to be mailed = $1,125
