so after our walkthrough and the last time seeing the ladlord... she issued me and my roommate our last security deposit checks... saying everything is fine... the next day i deposit the check and it bounced (bank people said its either no funds in account or was cancelled).
The ladlord called me day after walkthrough saying that the front door needs to be replaced because of the lock* and there is a hole in the wall and the paint is chipped on the stairwell (meanwhile everything was GOOD during walkthrough).
Lock situation* - when we moved in we got locked out twice with our keys in hands and werent able to get into the apartment.... the keys didnt work.. so we called the landlord and told her she has to change the lock she told us to change it ourselves.... as we did... and never charged her for the lock or deducted it from rent. Now she says there is a hole in the door where the lock is and she has to get a new door and we are responsible.
so i think thats why she cancelled check.. is she inthe wrong or are we responsible for the damages. My roommate cashed her check and said she is not paying for anything because we r not responsible. Please help
