Poll question: I have made THREE calls to my landlord to schedule an exit inspection. |
|
My lease is up Sunday.
I'm going there tonight to finish vacuuming. That's the last of it.
My sin-laws are coming in this weekend. I will have some time Saturday afternoon to do an exit inspection. That's really it until Monday (although I might be able to do something Sunday if it's that or nothing).
My landlord hasn't called back AT ALL.
What's gonna happen?

1. Take pictures and/or videos of every nook and cranny before you leave |

Leave one set of pictures with the key, and keep a set for yourself.
I hope you get your security deposit back. That sucks.
Chances are you won't ever see the landlord again though.

That's sort of what happened to me a few years ago. I did everything I was supposed to do but they never called me back. I told them I would be there at a certain time and it was the only day that I could be there and they never showed up. So I left my key on the kitchen counter and left. About 3 weeks later I got a court summons. They said they couldn't get in and thought I had skipped out. Both statements were BS. I had copies of the moveout notice I sent them and they had a key because they were always coming in and fixing stuff. Ended up in arbitration and it was decided that I would forfeit my security deposit but they wouldn't get the back rent they said I owed. Only good thing about was my security deposit was $200 instead of a full month's rent.
That's been almost 6 years ago and to this day I warn people away from that company.

4. UPDATE: He said send him the key, and he'll send me my deposit in full. |
|
Let's see if he follows through.

I'll have to pick up a disposable camera (my digital's with my SO, on assignment, today), and I'll forage for today's paper, but I won't even bother to develop the film unless I have trouble.
