Hello,
I recently found out that my neighbor tried to kill herself by discharging a firearms in the unit next to me - I found this out through neighbors - I was never notified by the landlord that this happened. I immediately gave by notice to vacate as the woman was still living next to me. This was the 15th of October and he said I had to pay 15 days into November, regardless of the danger living beside me. I moved into a new home November 1st and did the Final Walkthrough with my old landlord around that time. My deposit is $2200 - he simply looked around and said, $1000 for painting (I had painted some walls and rooms a different color than the original) and then he said $1000 for the 15 days into November I had to pay because of the 30 day notice I had to give (nevermind he never notified me of a suicidal, gun-slinging woman that I share a wall with).
My question is this - I did some research and painting walls seems to not fall under proper security deposit deductions - he even said he had to repaint it anyway, when I volunteered to repaint it myself. Also - in the situation with giving him short notice that I'm moving due to safety issues - do I have to pay the 15 days into November? The unit wouldn't have been ready anyway for a new tenant as he decided to put in hardwood floors for a condo conversion...
Please advise. Thank You for your time.
