I recently moved out of the house I rented for 5 years. Last week I got back only ¼ of my security deposit. They sent me an itemized list, but some of the things I was charged for were inaccurate. There were two specifically I had questions about. One, they charged me for putting new screens on all the windows. However, there were only screens on three of the 8 windows when I moved in. However, I have no proof that was true. Would I have to have proof of this to pursued litigation?
Two, I was charged for “trash removal”, specifically the mattress and box spring I had left next to the alley by the trash. In this situation, I have emails that prove the city picked them up vs them removing them. However, they weren’t picked up until the 3rd and I moved out on the 31st. Does that extra 72 hours give them the right to charge me for their removal?
