One question regarding my issue:

Me and the landlord both decided that a move out inspection AFTER our move out date would be better since the apartment would be empty.    I know California law indicates the last 2 weeks before move out.    Do I have no case in this situation?   

Thanks Penny

The issue isnt the repairs or the cost of those repairs.    My issue is that I was not given a chance to make those repairs myself with a move out inspection after repeated attempts to set up the inspection.  

Thank you for your advice!

Thanks Mary 

Ive had a very good and informal relationship with the landlord throughout the years and have taken great care if his place.   I wasnt expecting this type of behavior from him and I have no video or written records of anything.     

The exception is a short text asking for an itemized list of repairs to my email.   This text was not responded to.   

Lesson learned.    I will take your advice and talk to a non profit in my county for these kinds of things

Anyone else?

Hi Christine.     What if the landlord and tenant agree to do the inspection AFTER the move out date?    Is it not valid unless its in that 2 week period?

Hi.

I'll keep the details short with bullet points:

- Our stove stopped working and my landlord refused to fix it.    At this point we decided we wanted to move then have to deal with this person

- I gave 30 day notice and asked for a move out inspection.

- Was told it was no problem and that we would do it AFTER I moved out.    I said this was fine.

- The week after I moved out I tried twice  to schedule the inspection.   On the third call I finally reached the landlord who told me he already has contractors doing the work and he was taking a potion of my deposit.   

- I clearly was denied my right to fix the issues with the apartment as stated in Cal Civil Code 1950.5 

What legal recourse do I have here?       Can anyone will Calif experience tell him if the inspection must happen BEFORE the move out date?     Ive had a 5 year and very informal relationship with this landlord so no written records  were kept.  

You need to list your available funds and ERs to give any type of advice. My S&P ER is .19 for example. Ideally, one should fund their 401k and ROTH completely to enjoy the tax savings (they are substantial) and tax free investment opportunity of the ROTH. From there, start your career in RE.
