What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TENNESSEE
We paid a $600 deposit. Our lease stated that we should receive our deposit back within 30 days of our evacuation. We did not receive it within this time so my husband called...she stated it was because she did not have our forwarding address. We followed her directions and left it on the counter of our former residence...it was written at the bottom of the extensive check list she gave us of things that must be done. We completed all items on the list.
We received a check in the mail today for $526.00...not $600...with a note in the memo field that stated $74 for the ad. We were not notified that we would be responsible to pay for the advertisement to re-rent the property...nor was it anywhere on our lease. How can they do that? Can they keep this money???
