What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
Can a landlord withhold Security Deposit money for items that were missed in the final walk through? If so, what is a reasonable time frame... is it up to the point that the Security Deposit is refunded?
Also, in 2013 my tenant damaged a ceiling fan, which I promptly replaced. I did not charge them at the time. They moved out on Dec 31, 2014... can I still deduct that from their security deposit?
Thanks!
Tom
