Security Deposit Charges

[Estefania Concha]

I have a tenant that was supposed to be out before the first. On the first she was still moving out and than when I inspected the house a few days later it was infested with cockroaches. I had an exterminator come out and started a treatment but could not rent the property out mid month I had to postpone till the following month. Can i deduct the 15days of unpaid rent due to having the property treated? This is San Diego, CA

I'd connect w/ a local attorney here in SD that specializes in landlord-tenant
