I vacated a short term apartment rental and believed I had vacated in good standing without any damages. The management company had required two non refundable deposits for a total of $325.00. I was told these deposits where to cover any expenses the company incurrred after my move out. The management company is now requesting $95 for reimbursement to clean for pet odor. They forwarded an undated move out inspection report. They claim they can't provide any additional information because the unit only smelled bad and there were not any stains on the carpet. I have also learned that $175 of the deposit was applied to a bond with Sure Deposit to cover any damages for the landlord but that this did not give me any coverage for my rental period. Is this an acceptable practice and did the landlord have any responsibility to explain the bond coverage? Am I liable for the charges at this point in time?
