There is no law requiring a landlord to give a walk through before keeping a deposit. However, if the landlord did not give a walk through, it is easy for the tenant to argue that the landlord is lying because there is no proof that the damage being claimed by the landlord really existed at move-out.

Can landlord in state of ga keep most of deposit if disabled tenant cleaned perfect and needs money?
A landlord is only entitled to keep all or a portion of a security deposit to cover any substantial damage to the property or to cover lost rent. They may also be entitled to a portion of the deposit if the apartment was not cleaned. If the landlord has not provided you with a list of damages or reasons as to why they're keeping all or some of your security deposit, you will need to file a small claims lawsuit against the landlord.

Not per se. A foreclosure proceeding on your landlord is no reason to not pay your rent, as long as he still has control of the property. If this is not the case then the bank or other entity that has control over the property will give you instructions on what to do. Your landlord has to give you your deposit back unless he's keeping it for legitimate reason, and such reason must be listed on the paper he sends you when he intends to keep the deposit.

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.
