Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / How Much To Charge From Damage Deposit for Repairs?
My tenant just moved out, and I have to fix where he ran his car into the side of the garage. My question is how do I go about deciding how much to charge? I don't have time to repair it right now, but I will need to in the near future.

You can simply get a quote form a contractor. Most offer free quote and if it is on paper it doesn't matter who does it or when it is done but you can use the security or even a small claims to get the money needed for repairs. Take picture and get proof of damages.

Feature Spotlight: Why do I need A Lease Package?

Those basic leases you can find in office supply stores or buy from online vendors can look appealingly cheap and easy, but chances are, they don't meet all of the legal requirements for binding leases in your state. If you entrust your rental unit to a stand-alone lease, you may not be fully protected, especially if you wind up in court with your tenant over a contract dispute.

By using our exclusive Lease-Builder Wizard with State Assist, you'll get unmatched convenience, peace of mind, and protection for not much more than other sites charge for a generic lease.
