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.
