Renter Bent and Cracked Garage Door

Jerry Happoldt
Posted

Renter moved out and left the prop dirty, one hole in drywayll, cat piss on baseboards ect.  However the garage door has a few small dents, and 2 vertical cracks.  How do I approach this, I want to charge them but feel bad.  There deposit was 1375, and after all damages, cleaning and carpet cleaning along with the garage, which I just saw, there is practically nothing left.  I listed the itemized list below.

Carpet Cleaning

-$300.00

Window Repair

-$150.00

Deep Cleaning

-$200.00

Replacement of 5 blinds ($25.50 each)

Check your math first and then get a quote for the garage door repair.  Follow your local laws regarding security deposits.  Why do you feel bad?  If you rented a car and damaged it do you think the car rental company feels bad?  No, they would charge you for the damage.
