Hi, We just moved out a month ago from a house we rented from a landlord who was very unfair. We always paid on time & kept the place clean etc.. He would always show up unannounced, steal water from our hose, have his friends in the back yard etc.. We really tried to just bare with it all we could. We gave him the 60 days notice he wanted and had the place cleaned inside and out including carpets. We left the place immaculate because he said we had to which is fine. Forget the normal wear and tear part of the lease as we left the place better than when we moved in lol. There was however a quater size mark on his really old countertop (40 years old) that he now says he has to get a new one and we have to pay for most of the cost. The countertop already had marks on it when we moved in. It has now been almost 30 days since we moved out and he will not return our calls. He was suppose to let us know the cost to replace the countertop. The lease says 35 days and we get the deposit back. What do we do if we dont hear from him in those 35 days? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. We did do him a favor (which we were uncomfortable about) and that was lying to the county assesor that his wife lives in the home and that it is not a rental so he could get the homestead credit. Even after all we did and put up with he is being very shady to us about our deposit. Should we report him to the county.
