    Default Tenant Moved Out Without Paying Garbage Bill

    just called the garbage company the other day and they said my former tenants that just moved out owes them a HUMONGOUS balance. can i deduct it from their security deposit? we're talking in the hundreds.

    the garbage bill was in their name. i realize the property owner is ultimately responsible; lien can be placed on property if not paid.

    the lease states: The Tenant is responsible for the payment of the following utilities and other charges in relation to the Premises: GAS/ELECTRIC, PHONE, CABLE, WATER AND SEWER.

    although the word "garbage" was omitted, i feel the word "other" covers it. your thoughts?

    forgot to state: property in CA, Solano County

    Default Re: Tenant Moved Out Without Paying Garbage Bill

    I think it falls under "other".
