Upon signing the lease, I paid first and last month's rent plus a security deposit. I gave 30 days notice via a certified letter. However, I heard a rumor that a landlord can only keep the security deposit for damages to the property and not to make up for a lack of tenant since I gave the 30 days notice. Please advise as I would like to get the money back if possible.
As a side note, he refused to fix a very obvious leak behind the bathroom wall so i have paint peeling and dry wall bubbling. There are other code issues and I question whether there is a certificate of occupancy. Where can I find that out? and will that information help my security deposit case?
Thanks!!
