Q: Can a hotel, keep your deposit without showing you proof of damage. Even after they denie you with proof of damage.
They told me p had pictures of the damage. And told me theses words no pictures no refound case closed . From the district manger ,when I requested to see the pictures.
A: In order to claim the deposit there must be damages. The hotel cannot simply claim it for the sake of claiming it. As it relates to disclosing photos of the damage, I do not believe there is a requirement to disclose them upon request. However, if you file suit, you can request the photos through the discovery process.
