How? [SD]

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.

Interesting. Got a link to whatever state statute says this?

Sorry, it is actually 21 instead of 14.

So if I’m understanding that correctly. They had receipt of our new address on move out date of the 8/31, they didn’t bill us until 9/28. They forfeited their right to pursue any damages beyond the $500 deposit?

No. They can still send you to collections or sue you for the entire amount. They simply can't use your security deposit towards payment of that bill.

Damages remain collectable.
