Thank you for your response, I have moved out of the property leaving it in rental ready condition, painting inside of the house, cleaning carpet and making sure everything was in order and clean. Your right the landlord has been reasonable and hasn't taken this to court. There was No income for those months I could not pay. Landlord asks me to move and I put in my 30 days notice to vacate the property, in which I did, after the final walk through. I just received employment and am willing to pay the amount that I owe for the two months of rent. Landlord states she cannot return my deposit until I pay the two months. I am able to pay $500 a month, this is reasonable for my income, which was at the time of the agreement my income was $2000.00 in which she wants half of the income $1,000. Now I make $1,500, it's not possible for me to live on $500 for the month. I understand my landlord position, but if I don't have enough gas to get to work then, there's no job and that means no money. I have received help from friends and family members, food banks, clothing bank any mean necessary to handle both my landlord and my household. The landlord has not applied my deposit to the rents owed and that is my question is there a limited time that the landlord should submit the ex-tenant with an itemized deduction list of the deposit within a certain amount of time? And if so, what can I do to get that applied to the balance I owe? Again I'm working every area I can to keep paying $250 a week, I was only able to make it to work and I received $300 leaving me $50 its takes $75 of gas a week. This will only make my next pay less than want my landlord wants me to pay. So at want point do I say I can't keep this up this is insane. I just check to see if she rented the house and the house is rented! So want is the bottom line to this contract I signed and I can't make the payments she wants lack of money now, but I will keep paying as much as I can until I pay off the debt. I will give the landlord proof of cut in pay. I'm willing to continue paying but realistically I can only pay $390 -$500 a month until I can do better. Thank you again for your response I appreciate your advice. rent was $2,500 which I owe 2@2,500 $5,000.00 deposit was $2,500. I've paid $500 owe as she states it $4,500. first and will not apply deposit until she receive all the past rent is this legal?
