Security Deposit and Unit Damage Question
My tenant is moving out at the end of this month. I went and did an inspection of the unit and found some problems.
1) Handle to the refrigerator is ripped off.
2) They used large nails to hang paintings so now I have walls with many holes. Will need to patch and repaint for sure.
3) They had a dog and there is hair all over the place. They haven't cleaned as of yesterday and all of their belonging are out of the unit.
The tenants were in the unit for 18 months and had one months security deposit at $950. The unit was clean and in good condition. Not sure on how to charge for the refrigerator. The refrigerator was not new but not old and in good condition. I will have to determine paint and patching cost. Will have to charge a cleaning fee.
Any advice on charging?
