Your Legal Questions Answered

question iconWe have a property manager managing our rental house. The lease is up July 31, 2020. The tenant has not paid July rent. She told the property manager that her security deposit would cover the rent. He told her it doesn’t and she still has to pay the rent. She hasn’t. The property manager did pay us the July rent. There is substantial damage to the house. My question is, does the property manager have to reimburse us for repairs from the security deposit? Or is it legal for him to say he used the deposit to pay us the rent? I would like to know the law on this before I discuss it with the property manager. Thank you.

A complete understanding of your rights may be difficult via this forum. But, generally your Property Manager's obligations to you the Landlord will be defined in the Property Management Agreement. Additionally, it is likely that you have the right to pursue the tenants for damages based on repair costs and unpaid rent and other costs. I recommend that you contact our attorneys for a review of your damages, rights, risks, options, timeline, process, how we can help, costs, etc. Just call us (24/7) at 3030-688-0944 or schedule online at robandhen.wpengine.com/locations.
