What is the name of your state? Ohio
I am renting a home through section 8. Through no fault of my own, Section 8 is failing the house's inspection, and they are giving me my certificate back to go find another home. I have only lived in this home for 7 months, and the original lease was for 1 year. They failed inspection because the owner failed (or refused) to make the needed repairs. I plan on cleaning and painting, therefore leaving it in the same condition that I first rented it in, and of course taking pictures of everything. When I spoke to the landlord about this, she told me that she would not be refunding my security deposit because I didnt stay for the entire lease term, and she will be at least 1 month without a tenant. I researched the LL/T laws, but Im sure there is a special circumstance here, because the Housing Authority is making me move due to her negligence. What do I do here? Thanks
