What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
I am unsure about what my rights are in this situation, so any help would be appreciated.
Here is the situation:
Previous tenant moved out and left various things in disrepair that I have since had to pay to have fixed. The tenant now wants to be reimbursed for the fuel that was left in the tank. The amount that I had to pay out for these repairs is much more than what is owed for the fuel.
Do I owe anything? The lease states that the tenant is responsible for any damage and for all heating costs. Should I be billing the tenant for the damages? I did not collect a security deposit, but was paid for the fuel in the tank when the tenant originally moved in.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
