My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida
I just received the letter from our former landlord imposing a claim. First we did met the landlords agent on April 30 5:30, at their request for a walk through after about 3 years of renting , lease ended May 1. We thought she would go through and look ant things, all she did was ask for the keys. The damages include , cleaning which I know is subjective but everything was cleaned, mopped floors, cleaned oven, sinks, toilets everything. charged for some painting, and wall repairs, any small nail holes from pictures were filled, and painting? we ere there 3 years and it wasn't painted when we moved in. the had a molding that they said was missing and never existed as far as i know. there was a leak in a sink that they were told and was never fixed and warped the wood base under it. I dont agree with any of that but the biggest problem is they charged a "co payment" for work that was done over the 3 years.
Vinyl flooring that they were told was bad at move in was tiled, and was charged $100, job was preformed in September 2016. The contractor did a bad job and some tiles cracked and they returned to replace them, Oct 2016, another $100. Air conditioner needed to be replaced, Nov 2017, another $100. washer and dryer replaced Sept 2016, another $100. All this when we moved out April 30, 2018. If they are doing a "copayment" can it be billed years after the fact? I am asking for accounting, invoices, and pictures on the cleaning ect and an getting our move in report too showing some of the isues that were their before we moved in.
The thing that got me most mad is the copayments. are they even legal? I was told that even if you wanted to add them to a lease in WI that it is not legal, I am looking to see if it was in the lease I need to go through boxes as we just moved. I think the new tenant moved in May 1 in the AM so i dont know how they could have done anything they said anyways before the move in
