Q: I had to return my key to rent owner on February 1st I was out of town and sent them the key February the 6 the owner
Stated I turn key in late by only 3 days. Landlord did inspection and said I owe them a full month rent for turning the key in late what can I do there holding my full deposit
A: THere are a lot of facts that are missing here. Had you moved out? Did the landlord evict you? What kind of shape was the place in? You need to see an attorney in your town. The Alabama Landlord Tenant Act has some very specific protections for you in move-out situations. GO see a lawyer.
