Can A Landlord Deduct From A security Deposit In California Despite a Good Faith Failure to Comply W
I advertised my duplex as a year lease. My tenant signed a year lease. In less than a week they wanted to make it a 6 month lease. They lasted just over 4 months, gave 15 days notice to move out just to the next town. I informed them of their duty per the lease they were responsible for lost rents and to find a suitable tenant. I posted the unit online and found a suitable tenant who couldn't move in until the end of May. The rent was paid through May 7. My new tenant moved in May 26 and I had become ill and was down for just over two weeks, so was unable to return their deposit minus the remaining rent owed by them within the 21 days. It was not ill-intended. I received a nasty email saying that I am taking advantage of them and I owe them the full deposit.
