HELP! tenant suing
Bought a property in California in Jan. from another investor, already tenant occupied. Tenant decided to move out February with no thirty day notice, previous landlord never did a move in inspection. Per old lease tenant moved in early received 4 days of free rent in return for cleaning. Tenant took pictures of place when moved in and it was dirty. Since tenant moved out I charged for cracked window, lock changed because i did not receive them until the 1st, paint because of discoloration of walls from grease in kitchen only. Now tenant is suing for security deposit because of the charges I applied to security deposit. Tenant lived in unit for 6 months signed my new lease but I told her it was not valid because she marked through parts of the lease and put n/a on clauses so I told her I would refer to the old lease. Am I wrong for charging these fees?
