reconditioning charge

[hcangelosi]

Oakland, CA

My previous landlord is keeping most of my security deposity to clean or replace items in the furnished room that I rented. These charges are unfound and I believe that she is charging me for "reconditional charges" which are illegal in CA. I am trying to find the section in the California law where this is stated. Does anyone know where this is or where I can find this section.

Thanks!
Hilary

Cal rental deposit

Section 1950.5 of the Cal Civil Code deals with rental deposits for resedential property. It gives all the rights of both parties. You can see the section at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=civ&group=01001-02000&file=1940-1954.1.
