RENTAL DETAILS |
Address : 360 3rd Ave N
City, State - Zip : Twin Falls, Idaho - 83303. |
COMPLAINT DETAILS (from renter) |
My father passed away earlier this year and was renting a little house in Twin Falls, ID since 2004. He went from a year lease to a month to month. He died on the 2nd of the month and had been sick prior to passing. I paid the rent for that month plus it was emptied and cleaned. The landlord looked at the rental and signed an acknowledgment of accepting the condition of the property and receiving the keys. There is a $400 security deposit owed to my father plus a $5.00 key deposit. I have the copy of the rental agreement.
I later received a bill from him for $923.53 minus $400 damage deposit. My father smoked and the landlord knew that. He billed me for having to repaint everything, fixing a leaking toilet and repairing a fan. He billed me for 30 hrs of work at $15 an hour = $450. Carpet cleaning at $110.00 and $46.00 for window blinds.
It was my father's air conditioner in the window but he didn't tell us that until about 30 seconds after he signed accepting the property. He thought that was real funny because there was nothing we could do.
Well, I didn't and am not going to pay him for obvious reasons plus he'd all ready signed a paper saying he accepted the property after it had been cleaned and received the keys. I would like to go after the $405 sec and key deposit if you think it's feasible.

PROPERTY RELEASE QUESTION: The landlord has a hand written note on the release form stating: This has nothing to do with security deposit only rent do. Agent is under the impression that the note was added later as an explanation, however, the release form is clear that NO OTHER CHARGES would be brought up. It does not state that it is ONLY referring to the rent. The handwritten note says it only goes toward rent. |
