Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / Security Deposit

Tami Hi, I've had a renter less then 2 years and I'm having to repaint the entire house, that was painted prior to them moving in. Am I able to deduct from their security deposit? I'm in California. Chat started

RE: Security Deposit

we bought property with existing tenants in 2015. This year the renewal is coming up. In escrow docs it doesnt show they gave a security deposit when they moved in. Now I am requesting they give us a security deposit. I sent a certified letter and gave 30 notice to tenant. They have not responded at all. What should i do if they dont have the deposit? Can i start eviction?
