State Specific Question About: CALIFORNIA (CA)
I need some help with returning security deposit. This is my first return/non-return that is NOT due to eviction or tenant fleeing in the night. I need to get the disposition in the mail by tomorrow to meet the 21-day limit.
Tenant did not report a bathroom faucet leak and the water dripped behind and on the side the vanity; the pressboard wood was ruined. Handyman said said the new cost is $220, so my guess is that $150 is fair? The vanity was a new install when she moved in and factually speaking the entire apartment was a new renovation.
The granite kitchen counter top is stained -- maybe something metal rusted on it. I made a paste of "bar keepers friend", but that hasn't worked yet.
I'm guess-timating on the plumbing costs, because the handyman has not given me actual costs yet, but I will see him later today for the figures.
