THERE IS A LOT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SINCE THE TENANT MOVED OUT, WILL I GET THEIR WHOLE DEPOSIT? - Sometimes the hardest thing to get owners to understand is that their personal living style can not be mandated unto a tenant. So, if you would replace a mini blind simply because one of the fingers going across it was bent, doesn't mean that would be imposed on a tenant as a deduction from their deposit. The courts look at it more from a reasonable wear and tear standpoint and what might be considered average living conditions. We've had owners replace all the carpet in a unit because of some small stains in one back bedroom and expect the tenants deposit to foot the bill... it doesn't work that way. You can only charge a tenant for damage, and other work that needs to be done beyond what would rationally be considered normal wear and tear.
