On April 2, 2025, the small claims division made the following findings. On September 1, 2024,
Tenant vacated the dwelling unit he had rented from Landlord at mid-day as he had promised Landlord.
On September 9, 2024, Tenant contacted Landlord’s agent about his security deposit. The agent indicated
that the Landlord did not intend to return the deposit within the 14-day window but would be following
the parties’ lease. Landlord went to the unit to inspect it, but it did not respond to Tenant. On September
16, 2024, Tenant reached out again, and Landlord’s agent informed Tenant that Landlord would need
more time to assess damages and compose an estimate for the costs of damages and repairs. Later that
day, Landlord’s agent emailed Tenant an estimate of painting and cleaning costs that exceeded $2,000. On
September 18, 2024, Landlord mailed Tenant a refund of $150 from the security deposit. On September
23, 2024, Tenant received the itemized letter detailing the withholdings.
