I am afriad because other tenants, agents and landlords are the same. Can I get the deposit back? and what should I prepare to avoid any form of argument? My tenant`s lease expires soon, but a short-term extension (6 months) has been requested. She asks for the return of half of her deposit (i.e. half a month of the monthly rental fee). During the handover, my agent found a small crack on a rocky surface in the kitchen and removed half of the deposit without my confirmation. He only shared the information via email and he is not discussed properly with us in this context. When I try to negotiate for this, he will deflect the topic and say that after a week of break, the house will not be well cleaned from the delivery date, and they also say that for such damages, the tenant has to pay for what I am not sure if it is real or not. Hello Jamal, I had signed the agreement with my tenants is valid until the end of June, 2016. The tenant never told me not to enter into another contract until I sent her a message, then she told me that I could continue to get a new tenant and also ask to receive the deposit, to give up for May. I refused because our contract is until June and they still have to pay me until June. The deposit had to be kept until the extract and no damage to refund it for 14 days. My wall was drawn by children everywhere, and I ask them to repaint so I can bring a new tenant to see the house they refuse, and told me to return the deposit, and they will.
As the owner, do I have the right to ask them to repaint the house since they were still a month before departure? Please help me to be lost because I don`t know how to handle this tenant. Hello, my tenant claimed that he left his business because the employer refused to pay him a salary. For this reason, he gives 2 months notice (Jan & Feb) to terminate the lease early. At first, he refused to pay the rent for the 2 months because he said he had no money to pay. But he paid the 2-month rent when he was told we were going to evacuate him. I asked for a letter from his company to prove his resignation, but I haven`t received it yet. .
