Hello,
I moved out of this house where I rented one room out of a family building. I gave a one month notice, did everything properly, cleaned the place up. I left by giving them an address where they could send the deposit to when they had checked the place.
Now, I have a voice message from them on the phone telling me that they have to repair the wooden floor ( I accidentally got water on it and it expanded a bit), and they say it costs $500 to repair it and they want $300 extra additional to the $200 deposit that I keep.
That seems absolutely crazy to me, the place was old anyways and the damages to the floor minor.
What are the legal regulations on this? What will happen if I ignore the demand? Is there any time period in which I would legally have to pay for what they ask for?
I appreciate your answers.
