<prompt> Human: This is my first post so please forgive any errors it might have.My boyfriend and I signed a 12 month lease from June 14 to June of 15. We paid 650 deposit and a 500 pet deposit for our cat. After our lease ended, we did not sign a new one nor did our landlords ask us too, in fact we stayed and entire month after the lease July 15. Due to financial issues, we had to leave on short notice. We gave a week notice and within that time, our landlords were able to find a new tenant with no trouble. When we asked about our 650 deposit, we were told there was too much damage and that they can give us 100 back. With our 650 deposit and the 500 pet deposit, there is no way we did 1150 worth of damage. They claimed we broke our lease by not giving a 30 day notice when we moved out but, the lease ended in June 15 and we moved out at the end of July 15 so we were not under any lease. They said our cat made runs in the carpet and I believe the pet deposit should cover that. My question is: I think we deserve more of our deposit back, is there anything I can do or should I even try to do anything?  <response>: You wont be able to get an answer here, since all of the answers to your questions will ultimately depend on exactly where you live. But you can ask for an itemized list of deductions or receipts. Make sure you do that in writing.
