Security Deposit Return

[Bob Booth]

I failed to return a tenants SD within 60 days. Because of this I refunded his entire SD. Can I now sue him anyways for what I would have deducted? 

[Nathan Gesner]

I agree with Kevin. Suing someone is not a guarantee of success. In fact, the judge may be far more lenient to the tenant.

I never charge something against a deposit unless I have visual proof (pictures, video, documents) to back my claim. If I can't 100% prove my case, I avoid court like the plague.
