state of PA. My previous landlord just sent an itemized list of security deposit deductions. The most expensive costs included painting, carpet installation & labor, and a week of lost renting time due to the time it took to make repairs. I have only lived there a year I found the place off of craigslist from 1 of the other roommates (there are 5). The landlord did not do a walk-through when i moved in and there has been a revolving door of tenants for at least the past 5yrs with no inspections. The house was left cleaner than when i moved in and needed fresh paint and new carpet from the previous tenants. Additionally, the landlord originally requested that we leave because she needed the house clear to do renovations and construction. Can they charge me for paint, carpet, and lost renting time given the circumstances? (I don't think anyone was scheduled to move in for another 2months due to the construction)
