My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
My landlord supplied a check for $235.00 for cleaning fees for general housekeeping and in a letter to me stated this included windows and window screens. I live on the second story. I cleaned the windows on the inside but the outside of the windows are inaccessible. It is a generic receipt with a receipt book with the main items like "Received of" and "By" preprinted and everything else is handwritten. It is blatantly obvious she wrote the receipt herself. When the receipt is compared to other items she has written the it is obvious it is written by the same hand. The "By" is signed by someone else. Will a receipt written by landlord and signed by the person who supposedly received it hold up in court?
She has also deducted another $250.00 for repairs made earlier in my lease. The first communication that she would hold me responsible for the repairs was the deduction from the security deposit. I was not even aware of the amount until my lease ended. I have contacted the repairman and he has stated in a text message the repairs are general maintenance and not due to neglect/abuse.
