Our landlord did a walk through on a house we rented and she sent us a list of repairs and the remaining balance of our security deposit. At the time of our lease agreement we had given her a security deposit and a nonrefundable pet deposit.
The list of repairs are as follows:
Handyman services(repair hard wood floors, patch nail holes in bedrooms) $300, replace mini blinds $5, dispose of decorative planks in yard and replace grass $50, replace garage shelving unit $30.
Hard wood Floors-The repairs she is speaking of is at the front entrance of the house, a high traffic area and we also had carpeting placed there. Isn't this considered normal wear and tear?
Nail Holes-There were a total of 4 nail holes. Is this normal wear and tear?
Mini blinds-Cheap plasic blinds break from usage. Is this normal wear and tear?
Decorative Planks-Isn't this like planting a tree or a bush, where it becomes a part of the house?
Shelving Unit-This shelf was left in the garage and was rusty and collapsed. We threw it out shortly after we moved in. Are we responsible for replacing it?
After we received her letter, an agent that we know was in the house and said none of the repairs were done but the house was freshly painted. Does the landlord have to do the repairs they have stated? Can we request the invoices for the repairs she supposedly had done?
The house is on the market to be sold. We can get access to the house with a real estate agent. Is it illegal to enter the house with an agent to get pictures of the repairs not done?
Thank you for your help.
