what gives with the landlords not giving back deposits i mean what are they for really , a bonus for them ?
i was gonna move out of this place iv’e lived at for 3 yrs . never late with the rent , never destroyed a thing, in fact ive spent my own money doing repairs and landscaping without ever asking for a penny off rernt . ive just spent 3 weeks totally repainting the walls ,basement included alond with fixing the shower trhat never worked . i mean i did it cuz i was living there and the resources were cheap not free but i had to live there right ? anyway the lease runs out after 2 yrs ,been ther the last year without sighning any new one but decided to move out to save money . told him on the phone , thought that was notice but apparently this guy turns all by the book saying he needed itr in writing and i had to pay for that last month . ok i can seer that but when i asked him about the deposit coming back he was like well youll have to have the carpets pro clened and make sure it is all clean and tidy and then i will do a walk through and see about things and it could take 14 days . i thought instantly this was a loss even though i know yhis place is 10 times nicer then when i got it . i have no pics of b4 but i can gurentee i raised the value by all the things ive done . yes i know i didnt or shouldnt have cuz im a renter but hell at the time i did it for me . anyone know how to get my 750 back without going through hoops and why is it my responsibility to do the carpets ?isnt it considered normal wear and tear and be his reponsibility ? he owns it as a rental not me .. what gives as my rights (most are pretty vaige and don t go into detail ) on the normal side i just want some info so i can preepare for this . ive heard everyone say forget it but why i do deseve it back so give it back . thankyou all-.
