Can a landlord send you a bill after you move out?
Yes. I landlord can send you a bill after you move out. If you paid a security deposit when you moved in those funds are put towards and damages that were not "normal wear and tear". If the security deposit did not cover the damages then the landlord can send you a bill for the difference. There is a loophole here that some landlords forget about. Within 30 days of moving out if your landlord is keeping your security deposit and sending you a bill he needs to send you a letter detailing the damages and the cost for repairs. The 30 days is the limit. If it was sent on day 31 then the landlord is out of luck.
How long can your landlord hold your security deposit in the state of California?
landlords can charge you what ever they want (with out a lease) ... its your wellness to pay that sets the tone ...Answer:The person who wrote the above"answer" is clearly not informed about landlord tenant law. First, in California, everything you pay EXCEPT for the 1st month's rent is considered a deposit. It does not matter what it is called. It does not matter what is on the lease agreement. Anything over the 1st month's rent is a deposit. The maximum deposit the landlord can request is double the rent. So if he asks for first, last and a deposit, he is really asking for double the rent as a deposit. This is legal. However, if the rent is $2,000 and the landlord asks for first, last and a $4,000 deposit, that is illegal.
