Security Deposit Issues- MA
Landlord deducted money for a cracked toilet lid that was present upon move in. Did a move out inspection with landlord and broker with no damages noted. Landlord handed me a check 30 days after move out with a $100 deduction and a handwritten note saying $100 was withheld due to the cracked toilet lid.
This lady gave me nothing but problems. She called me 70 times over a year. Asked for favors not within the rental agreement. When I told her I wasn’t doing favors for her anymore, she told me to find a new place to live. Little did she know I was already planning on leaving.
I was a good tenant and I’ve been taken advantage of. Would you pursue this in small claims court?
The broker is aware of these concerns but continues to rent the place. This landlord is 90 and not of sound mind. I don’t want to see her continue treating tenants like this.
