My wife and I vacated a rented house on Aug. 10. This arrangement was made with our landlord; our lease was up July 31 and they allowed us to stay a bit longer because we had bought a house and were waiting for it to close. We had paid rent through August, and were refunded a few days of rent because the landlord found new renters. We just got our deposit refund and I have a couple of questions.
First, they're saying the 14-day clock starts running at the end of the month, not when we vacated; isn't this at odds with Washington law?
Also, they're trying to charge us for utilities after we vacated until the house was rented again. Am I correct that these aren't our responsibility?
Thank you for your help.
