Former tenant want invoices and receipt for deduction from security deposit

Simeon Rivas
Posted

Connecticut landlord here. I have a former post and the lady has been super difficult to deal with for the simplest of things. I am done with her so I do not want to send her any of the invoices details. Can I tell her that I'm just not sending it to her? I have everything and all legit charges, but at this point I just need her to send me a forwarding address so I can send her the remaining funds. 

Thanks in advance. I'm lost without the BP community.

Here's an explanation of the law: https://portal.ct.gov/dob/rental-security-deposits/rental-se...

You must send an itemized list of deductions. Why not send copies of the invoices, as well? I understand she's been difficult in the past, but does that mean you have to be difficult?

When you believe someone is going to cause problems, it's best to flood them with evidence and put them on notice that you are prepared to defend yourself. Sending copies of invoices shouldn't take you more than ten minutes of your time and can keep you out of small claims.
