Security deposit refund?
Hello, we recently had some tenants move out that had lived in our property for 3 years. We had initially collected the security deposit from them for $700.00. Upon moving out and during our final walk through we found that the place was left very dirty. The carpets needed to be cleaned, we had to hire pro cleaners to deep clean the house, and some screens were damaged. There were many holes from pictures on the walls that had to be filled that were not, the appliances were not cleaned and part of the original wood floor was damaged. Lastly, the landscaping had not been maintained as the weeds were taking over. I am wondering how we gauge if they are entitled to any of the security deposit or we are able to keep it to go towards the repairs. I will be doing much olf the repairs myself so I would not have a receipt to show for my time. Thanks in advance.
