I moved from our rental in Feb. i rented for 7 years. I paid a $1400 deposit along with a $500 refundable pet deposit.
Before leaving, I notified my landlord in writing that there was a door sticking, slow leaking faucet and a garage door issue. She never came or acknowledged this letter. I thoroughly cleaned the unit and took many pictures.
She is now sending me a bill that she is keeping my $1400 deposit due to a thermostat issue, door knob replacement and window damage. And, now all of a sudden, she is keeping my pet deposit stating it is now non-refundable with absolutely no pet damage.
The window is from water damage as the window takes on water and I called her during a rain storm to let her know. They never came to see the windows. She is billing me an additional $1400 for repairs. And some of the billing is not for anything she is accusing me of. She is also not counting the $500 refundable pet deposit. She’s giving me 2 weeks to pay or suing me!
I don’t know what to do but feel most of these things I didn’t do and have pictures to prove I left the place in excellent condition.
Would love any advice.
