In Reply to: Charged for Imaginary Damages after Moving Out! posted by Jo on February 26, 1999 at 23:10:27:

I just was reading unrelated topics on the tenat. net board and some
of stuff I seen is that you can file a complaint with the NYS Attorney General
to get a security depost back. I think you could also go to small claims court.

: Moved out of an apartment one month ago, got a letter two days ago saying
: I owe $1000.00 for carpet replaced because of "pet stains all over." There
: were no pet stains--when I moved in, the carpet was worn, old, etc. But I
: have no pictures etc... So if this goes to court will I win? Being that
: the landlord didn't contact me for my move-out inspection? And waited until
: the "repairs" were made before letting me know of any problems (how can I
: refute the damage if it's already been repaired?)? Any suggestions, ideas,
: resources?
