I would imagine because they were "checked out" that your legal options against the tenant are going to be pretty slim.

They would have slim to no chance of prevailing in small claims court if they decided to pursue it, provided you have the photos of the damage and the receipt/invoice showing you actually paid for the repair as opposed to a case where you just tried to keep their money for some alleged damage.Here's some more reading on the subject if you're interested: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/sec-deposit.shtml.Good luck.

@Jerry W. might be able to shed some light although I seriously doubt there are many HOAs in Wyoming so case law might be a bit slim.

Urban Detroit just got tiresome, and margins are slim to nonexistent.  

I'm a huge fan of MFP's, but they are becoming slim pickings here in central Florida.

(Asset > Debt > Equity) model, there's a slim-to-none chance that you can buy the debt from a major lender. 

I just moved from Colorado to Minnesota last year, but before I left it was getting to be pretty slim pickings in the 80%er world.

It seem your margin is too slim, from using the 50% rule for rental properties, $3300/2 = $1500 for expenses leaves only $1500 for the mortgage payment, expenses will have you losing money fast.

this is definitely a slim deal.  

Slim, real slim.
