Q: Before I moved out of my previous home I asked the landlord to do a move out inspection she declined . What can I do?
I received my security deposit refund and there were deductions that could have been avoided if she would have given me a move out inspection. She also charged me for a new smoke alarm , painting of kitchen and a large cleaning fee.
A: Send her a certified letter that she needs to refund your deposit with interest in full. Tell her that what she is dingbis a violation of the law. Give her a day like 6 days from receipt of your certified letter to refund your monies owed. If she dies not comply with the law, sue her innsmall claims court. Best of luck.
