Damages Need to be Fixed Before Move Out
I’m renting out an apartment. I used to live here with my ex and his dog. He was an angry man and his dog caused a lot of damage to the apartment. I broke up with him and kicked him out, however he’s agreed to take responsibility for the damages him and his dog caused. I am moving out soon and am wondering if these damages can be fixed DIY, should I call a professional or should I just let the PM take the deposit? I don’t want this to fall on me. * I’ve lived here for 3 years.
*I’m going to add an edit because a lot of people have a lot to say lol. MY EX HAS TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY. I am still in contact with him about this matter. There’s no need for small claims court. There’s no petty ghosting or trying to avoid responsibility. He’s owned up to all of the damages and that’s why I’m posting this, we are trying to see what the best option is! MY EX WORKS ON HOUSES. That’s why I’m trying to see if it’s DIY enough. I made this post simply to figure that out. I don’t need advice on small claims court or anything else lol. My ex is NOT violent towards me, it wasn’t an abusive relationship or anything😭 but thank you to the people that were worried.
