Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
One lawyer advised me to stay put at the moment and see whether they take me to the court. Another lawyer suggested to reply them saying I have contacted real-estate lawyer and say what reasonable and what's not reasonable to be deducted from security deposit, mentioning carpet lifespan. If they...- kayals

Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
Life expectancy of carpet and appliances is a great point. I did some research and articles also say the same about the law. Before moving in Jan 2016 we requested the landlord/realtor to replce the carpet as they were old and dated. They did not honor the request. The color of the carpet was...- kayals

Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
The basement toilet was never used since day one. We only found out this summer when we had some guests come over for backyard party, and have guests use it. The plumber had shut down the basement toilet water supply sometime last year while fixing upper lever toilet issue. Of course I would...- kayals

Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
Our dog was potty trained and there were only 2 occasions when he peed on the carpet which we cleaned immediately. The fact the urine penetrated the carpet everywhere is false. Our dog would only stay in one room. It is weird that landlord and his wife came to inspect after we moved out and not...- kayals

For no. 3 It was the landlords problem since I already wrote in an email what caused the issue. In my email I had written when there was plumbing issue the plumber fixed the upper level toilet sink but in order to do so he stopped water supply in the basement toilet sink. With no water in...- kayals

Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
Is it in my favor that landlord visually inspected walk out when handing over the keys. They never provided me a check out sheet, and verbally commented the condition is good. Realtor was not present when I handed over the keys to the landlord who came to inspect after professional carpet clean.- kayals

Landlord not returning security deposit and asking to cover extra cost
I was surprised they wanted to replace everything at tenant’s cost, a whooping $10,000. At first I felt they are intimidating me so I dont ask for security deposit refund. They basically want a brand new house at tenant’s cost. They had to do nothing for almost 6 years. The carpet when we moved...- kayals

The letter from the landlord’s realtor had a CC marked to their lawyer. In the lease there is no mention of any attorney related fee. Thr most crucial line in the lease is tenant pays for wear and tear from security deposit.- kayals
