My state is Wyoming. I signed a month to month lease and a purchase agreement (to purchase the house within 2 years). Before I bought the place I had an electrical inspection done. The landlord fixed those things before the purchase took place. Our updated purchase agreement stated that he’d pay for any electrical repairs that were found during an inspection.
I purchased the house and he turned around and wrote a letter stating my security deposit will be forfeited because I caused extensive electrical damage (none that I caused and were safety issues such as copper wiring, fan blades drooping, stuff with gfic outlets, wiring that goes into garage, etc.).
Is this even legal and should I contact an attorney?
Security deposit is $1600
