QUESTION
If I file this to court, do I have the chance to win the case?
Asked on Sep 24th, 2013 on Landlord and Tenant Law - Idaho
More details to this question:
I had $740 in a security deposit from my previous landlord. I received a check in the amount of $365.00. I was shorted $375. I wrote a text message to my landlord previously that said: What is it that I would have to do to get 100% back? My cleaning crew has to know! He responded with this: Fill the nail holes and fix the mirror that Lisa broke. When I received the refund he claimed that I didn't shovel (and he and or others had to shovel) a certain number of times and that is why the reduced refund came into play.

A landlord has 30 days from the date you vacate to notify you with estimated damages. If there is no written estimate provided within 30 days, then Michigan statute assumes that no damages exist. If these events transpired after 30 days, then you will win.

If he did not warn you of the charges previously you have a case against him for violation of various Michigan laws..

Six of one, six of another. You won't know unless you sue.
