What is the name of your state? IDAHO
We moved out of our apartment after living there for 3 years at the beginning of June and did the "walk through" and checkout on June 15th. At that time, the landlord told us he would charge us for carpet cleaning and to repaint (!) (On a side not: Isn't painting considered normal wear and tear? We spackled, primed and painted most of the walls!)
Anyhow, he said because we were good tenants, he would make sure to return most of our $$. It's been two months and he's been absolutely impossible to reach. I've left voicemails and emails and still no response. I want to send a certified letter to him tomorrow but I want to be sure of my rights and the laws for my state. Does anyone know what the law is for returning security deposits and if I need to go to court, what is appropriate to ask for in damages?
Thanks a lot.
