<prompt> Human: Its been well over a month since we moved out. We followed the guidelines and the list they gave us. Repainted, filled holes etc. Paid to have the carpet cleaned and provided receipt per their request. I figured theyd find something to gig me on just to try to skim my deposit but I got a letter in the mail saying Im only getting 600.00 out of my 1000.00 deposit. Some things they hit me on werent even on the list pressure washing the walkways and wtf is a general cleaning? Ok, Im thinking that since I didnt take any photos dumbass Ill just charge it to the game. Probably be a long hard fight anyways right? Then they tell me that theyre going to wait until the end of their required 30 days to pay me my deposit. Its 10 days overdue and last I spoke to them they said they didnt have a forwarding address bullshit! And they sent the check to the address I just moved out of, the one that they manage and know damn well its vacant. Ive called them multiple times and never get anyone, no answer since I talked to them last. Is legal action worth it or should I just drive down to the office dude I need to talk to seems to never be available and shit in their lobby?  <response>: Look into your states tenants rights laws on this. Some of them are very helpful; like some states put limits on time it can take to return the deposit or provide an itemized list of charges, and if the landlord exceeds the limit, the full deposit is owed.Pressure washing a shared walkway is definitely the most BS deposit charge Ive ever heard of. All states have language that include that general wear and tear cant be billed to a tenant, and if anything in the world qualifies, thats it.Find the states laws, go into the office and quote some of them to the manager. If they dont budge, youre right; its probably not worth the legal fight. But they might.
