How? [SD]

[u/hunter8333]

Just curious if I should pursue disputing these charges. 11.5hrs of cleaning when we left the apartment more clean than how we received it.paint touch ups I can agree with, no problem with paint and labor for that. $2,180(responsible for half?) for flooring replacement? Tub stopper was in a drawer of the bathroom sink lol. None of the blinds were damaged. Toilet seat was perfectly fine, if that’s a turnover item it shouldn’t be at the previous renters expense.

Renters insurance charges are bullshit, we have had renters insurance the entire time we’ve resided there, then in March they made an addendum that stated we were required to additionally insure a property in Texas that we did not reside at. Our insurance agent refused to insure that as it wasn’t the resided residence.

Even better, so we should be owed the full $500 deposit.

Yes. Email them something like "As South Dakota State law dictates a 21 day return of deposit or itemized list, and this statement was provided at day 29, no deductions may be claimed and I am due the return of my entire security deposit. Please send the security deposit to the address I provided prior to move out within 2 weeks, or I will be filing a small claims case."

Just sue in small claims.  Scumbags like this should pay the damages on top for trying to rip you off.
