What Happens To Your Security Deposit in Your Sherman Oaks Apartment

  |     |   Uncategorized

Most renters are concerned about getting their security deposit back at the end of a lease—especially if they are leaving the apartment in great condition. Most states’ renter’s rights say that landlords cannot deduct a security deposit because of normal wear-and-tear. The deposits are only to be used to fix damages.

 

Here is a quick list of what could be considered damage in your Sherman Oaks apartment.

 

  • Holes in walls
  • Broken tiles
  • Cracked walls
  • Paint other than original color
  • Tears, burn marks or holes in carpets
  • Broken windows or screens
  • Broken doors
  • Excessive filth on appliances
  • Broken window blinds
  • Mold
  • Dirty bathroom

 

In general, if a renter has left an apartment in the same condition as it was when they first moved in, they should be eligible to receive a full refund.
