My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Washington
In the beginning of march me and my landlord verbally agreed I can bring a dog to my apartment for a couple of months starting near the end of march. She said if anyone asks say you paid a $500 deposit. Which was fine. About 2weeks later she said no due to the maintenance man not wanting to clean up after it. I had no other option for a while. So the dog was at my apartment partially then at my friends farm.
On may 9th I got my emotional support letter from my doctor. Sent my landlord a very clear photo of the letter from my doctor then later gave her a physical copy. She said she doesn't accept service animals. However the maintenance man has a small dog.
I received a termination of month to month lease I moved out
She sent me a letter stating ' in regard to your deposit, as it states in your lease agreement page 1-6c no refund will be given if there is evidence of non approved pets. I have 3 affidavits from different individuals stating you had a dog in your apartment as of last week in March.
Also the apartment was not left clean. (Which I left it very clean)
It took over 3 hours to clean the stove (which it was very clean)
Mini blind in kitchen was broken (yes there was a piece of the blind missing)
Dog hair was everywhere (swept, vacuumed, mopped every room as there was no carpet in any room so it was easy to clean up anything)
The window in the living room was off its track (when I moved in she had to fix a window not the window she was taking about but it was already off track)
My bill for cleaning and repair was $380.00.' My security deposit was $550.
I have video of before me moving and after I moved out
The reason why she renegade on dog is because the maintence man does everything at no cost which I have proof of her stating this via text.
The lady who 'cleaned the apartment' I asked for itemized bill of that and have yet to receive one because the lady who cleaned was out of town.
I'm planning on writing a demand desposit letter. Just wondering if it's worth it. Because I think she's a con artist I really do
