Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I had a tenant moved out of my apartment and had nail and stains all over the wall that need the entire apartment painted. The estimate for the painting the entire apartment and cleaning the carpet is more than the deposit.
what should I do with.?

RE: Deposit
First take lots of photos, you will need to prove that this is beyond the normal wear and tear. Then keep the security to and send a deduction notice to the tenant so they know why you are keeping the security. Next you will need to send a demand for payment for owed money for damages, show photos and repair receipts. If they do not pay you will need to take them to small claims court for the rest of the money.
