What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I would like advise on a notice of intention to impose a claim for damages that I sent to a former tenant, and she wrote me back stating that some of those items that I claimed are not allowed by law, and will take me to court.
Here is the list of items:• The missing of a light fixture at the corridor located at the premises entrance plus labor totaling $ 80.
• Three light plates from living room and bedroom totaling $ 10.
• Fix of several holes on the wall. Spackling and touch up painting totaling $ 40.
• The kitchen hose faucet is leaking $20.
• A $50 fee plus $10 bank fee for your returned check # 126, in the amount of $775 regarding May according to our Lease Agreement # 4.
• A partial May rental payment of $75 that you claimed for fixing the new water heater that you deducted without our consent, plus a $25 late fee payment, plus $ 35 proportional $1 per day per 35 days (3 days for mail). See #3 of Lease Agreement
• Eight days rental for the month of June (@ $25.85 per day) totaling $206.65 plus a $25 late fee, plus $10 a day per 5 days (3days for mail) totaling $50. See Agreement # 3 .
• A $50 part deduction done in rent without our consent that you had claimed to pay AKM Plumbing to put back appliances.
• A $ 24 part of deduction done by you for cosmetic work without our authorization
