What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Ok property mgt. for landlord refunded $410.00 of $3,400.00 deposit. With what they call a deposit disposition letter. It List deductions for repairs and cleaning BUT no receipts.
I dispute charges 1st by phone then by e-mail within 14 days of getting disposition letter. 11 years + a few months tenancy disputed carpet removal $235.00 And clean all walls cigarette smoke stains $1000.00 and all other charges inflated. It's now 3 1/2 months later have found owners had spent deposit therefore delaying repairs. I offered settlement give back $1235.00 keep all else rejected, Give me a counter offer got none , go into mediation Won't budge they won't make any concessions. Very sneaky management co. received 3 receipt's 2 from "bla bla repair services" looked up found contractors license is property mgt. company doing business as bla bla repair services. Of course vague not listing materials hours or labor rates. 1 from carpet cleaning co. vague but ok since it came from a real contractor..
Anyway any thoughts about the requirement to provide receipt's 14 days after charges were disputed. Or refund all they don't have receipt's for. (which they haven't) ??????????
And they lose all rights to any deductions by failing to pay on or about 14 days.???????
And if this has graduated to Bad Faith Retention. (should the 2x deposit be given if small claims court happens) ?????????????
Also possible counter suit I see "no cause for action against Me" until request for payment of damages are received by me ????????????
