If the tenant and landlord cant docHub a compromise, the tenants best remedy is to sue the landlord for the money withheld, leaving it up to the small claims court judge to decide who is telling the truth.
By law, security deposits must be returned when the tenant moves out, minus allowed expenses. The law limits the amount of security deposits. o Until July 1, 2024, the limit is two times the monthly rent (or, for furnished units, three times the rent). o After July 1, 2024, the limit is one months rent.
Most states dont have a specific limit for how much landlords can charge for damages; only the amount must be reasonable and itemized in a receipt.
