OP I hope your DD get's this matter resolved and her desposit handed back.
I have only ever had a LL once a few years ago.
The LA walked me around the apartment and was making notes ect. I also pointed out things that she missed as I didn't want to lose my deposit and I can't say I had a problem to be honest except when I moved out, my LL rang me to ask what cleaning products I used and how does he use the washing mashine, tee heeIt's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun0 -
