The company I've used in the past in no longer providing the service of reporting delinquent rent charges & damages to the three major credit bureau's. 

According to sec. 704.29 of the Wisconsin Statutes, the landlord must attempt to mitigate the tenant's damages by trying to re-rent the unit.

But the damage to the blinds and the cost of removing trash definitely justify holding back some of the deposit.As for the documentation, it’s a good idea to provide a detailed accounting statement along with receipts for any repairs or replacement items.

The disposal in the kitchen is damaged and doesn't work.

But I know the city well and spent 5 years on the ground in the Detroit area.Newer folks need to do a ton of research and/or work with someone that has a ton of experience and is going to be honest with you.Detroit can be extremely block by block.

However, you can take a block of dates and change the nightly minimum just for that block.

As long as all the above are allowed by zoning and culvert possible via city building and engineering, and none of it blocks ROW, that neighbor couldn’t stop you, and his free “green zone” goes bye bye.

Insurance companies, and this includes umbrella policies, will deny or challenge your claim especially if the damage / claim is high and based on negligence or any fault of your's, READ your small print and don't think you are so good at landlording that accidents won't happen.

The security deposit would also be transferred to the new owner (although you are bound by the original lease to return it after damages are paid when they move out) and a lease supersedes a sale so the current lease stays in place, you don't need to sign a new one. 

Can I use some of the tenant's damage deposit to pay what my insurance does not pay?
