Property manager provided ridiculous list damages then said she had 60 days to file claim. My understanding is that she has 30 days = till what date can she claim damages? What about reasonable wear & tear?
A:
In order to claim damages against your deposit, they had to submit a written invoice specifying what they were applying the deposit towards. This had to happen within 30 days.
However, they can sue you for property damage up to three years after they discovered the damages.
If you want a more complete analysis of your case your need to speak to a local attorney to see what exactly they are claiming and what they are and are not allowed to do.
