So me and my roommates moved out of a house we were renting at the end of September. My roommate went through the inspection with the landlords assistant and she made note of some paint chips on the walls from hanging pictures and what not, he signed the report and she said she also wanted the landlord to go through and check everything out...

18 days later we had not seen the inspection report of or our $2500 deposit so we contact the landlord and he says there was excessive damage to the hardwood floors and got an estimate for $5700 so we are not getting it back...

I believe he had 10 days to return our deposit or give us a list of damages and deductions... Since we did not see this is that enough to get a ruling in our favor to get the deposit back?

Also he already has new tenants and I highly doubt he fixed the floors... Does anyone know how long he has to actually fix the floors? The tenant act reads to me that after 30 days he has to return the unused portion of the deposit.

Anyways, any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Miz
