I live in california. The owner to my previous rental of 2 years purchased a home for us (my children and I) in a better area because I was planning on moving because of the area. We were given 3 weeks to vacate the old house in which the owner did assist us with the move. Now he is charging me for holes in the walls that were already there and it was noted on the original lease, paint, front door jam because I put nails in to reinforce it, kitchen back door handle that had no damage upon leaving, and has just included damage to the garage door 2 months later. Upon entering the new home he agreed to allow me to purchase the jaccuzzi in the back yard at that time I gave him $250 of the $500. He now has recinded that agreement ( I have a receipt). He also wants to turn the property over to a management company and I feel it will be to try and evict me (he stated he wanted me out). I am not sure what to do because now he wants me to sign a new lease agreement and discard all the notices and charges he has given me. He said If I do not sign the new one I have to move out.
What's normal wear and tear and can he make us leave with the original 1 year lease? Also he has been paying for the repairs with his business checks (which is grant money for a program he runs) and charging me can he do that?
