Francis Brownfield My best friend was ripped of her security deposit for no reason at all Fort Payne Alabama
My friend was renting a home from them and paid them a security deposit. When me and my friend packed there things all in one night, we cleaned the house spotless and made sure everything was as it was when she moved in. The lady and her husband drove up in there BMW, walked in for a minute and told her she could NOT have her security deposit back.
My friend is trying to raise her two kids and is barely able to make ends meet, and these rich people kept her $250 deposit, which is probably just pocket change to them. I think it is sad that some people can go to church every Sunday and act all kind and caring, and then cheat a struggling mother of a mere $250, which is a lot of money to her.
I wish there was a way I could get the money for her, but I guess they will be dealt with on Judgement Day.

your friend could get her deposit back

I don't know the laws of your state, but your friend could get her deposit back. As long as she did not violate any terms of her lease (if she had one), move without giving sufficient notice, was behind on her rent payment, or had any excessive things other than normal wear & tear on the house, she should be entitled to her deposit back. The local laws here are that the landlord has 30 days in which to return the deposit, or to give an itemized list of legitimate reasons why they are not returning the deposit. Something like painting the interior is not a legitimate reason, unless there was excessive, avoidable damage to the existing paint. She needs to get ahold of the local authorities in her area to find out what recourse she does have. I wish her luck.
