| [25-Jul-2015] I lived in the basement apartment at 3641 Warren St NW, Washington, DC 20008 for three years. When I moved out, the landlord kept $1063.91 of my initial $1275 security deposit. The biggest expense she deducted for was to replace the kitchen floor, which she stated had a "large indelible black spot near sink; no way to repair; floor has to be replaced." I do not know what black spot she was referring to. The quote she sent to replace the kitchen floor came to $627.39. She also charged me $200 for "indentations in the rug where the sofa was, four of them quite deep and one about 1.5 inches long." She stated this was not normal wear and tear. I lived there for a total of three years, and before the third year I signed an addendum to my lease that included the statement: "cost of any needed repairs includes the Landlord's time (@$25.00 per hour) to find and manage repairs as well as the necessary time and materials needed to carry out such repairs." At the time, I didn't realize she would find it necessary to invoke this clause, but she did. She charged me $75 "to find cleaner, go get it, and clean" the oven. She charged me $131.25 to paint the walls and ceiling ["go to paint store 1 hr., evaluate walls (1/2), spackle (1/2), sand (1/4) paint (3 hours)"], and another $75.88 for the paint. This constitutes the bulk of the charges she deducted for. When I inquired about why I would have to pay for the kitchen floor, she stated that if she did not charge me for the floor, she would charge me $638.08 for a new stove (includes delivery, installation, and removal of the old stove) because of a piece of chipped paint. |
