I had a year lease, moved early, gave 30 days notice and gave the landlord a forwarding address. She did not return my security deposit and did not provide me with an itemized list of damages within 30 days. I inquired twice about the deposit and she stated she is not returning due to early termination of the lease, a minor, long term leak she alleges occured during my occupancy and cat urine (my cat never urinated on the floor). She never gave me a check in list at move in. Now she says she is coming after me for the back and and money owed on her insurance claim. Can she do this?
Answer
Yes, because you breached the lease early. You still have defenses, of course, but she has acted legally appropriate at this point. You will get your date in court when she sues you. Tim Klisz kliszlaw.com
