So had an apartment for a year and moved out Monday. The landlord has a reputation for not giving much if anything back from the deposit. However, we have receipts from the carpet cleaning company, and we made everything spotless. During the final walkthrough the landlord commented that it was the cleanest an apartment had been left for her, and that we went above and beyond what was expected. This made us feel good because we wanted to leave it in better shape than we received it, plus we wanted some deposit back.
Here's the situation, though. Probably 4 months ago we noticed some leaking under some of the cabinets. We contacted her because we thought the refrigerator was leaking. Maintenance guy (her nephew) came and it had to do with the dishwasher, but the cabinets had molded and that set of cabinets would need to be replaced. He asked if we wanted them replaced now or if we didn't care if he waited until he left. We didn't care, so said just hold off until we move out so we didn't have to move all our things.
A few days after leaving, the landlord mentioned to one of our neighbors that she had to have those cabinets replaced since her nephew reminded her. So...what's the chance that it's going to come on our dime?
