Collecting a deposit......

[DianaB]

Dae Lynn and Damon just moved to another house. The landlords that she had were really good about fixing things and she was really good at keeping her rent paid. They lived in the house right before Dae Lynn did because they had sold their house and was remodeling anther one to move into so they had first hand knowledge about the condition of the house.

The husband is a real nice guy but his wife......well, let's just say, we've heard awful stories. Jaci was best friends with their daughter but the friendship changed about a year and a half ago. Plus, the daughter tried out for HC Queen as well. In fact, she was telling everyone that SHE was going to be the winner because her MOM said so.

When Dae Lynn rented the house it hadn't been cleaned since they had moved out. We shampooed the carpet and cleaned mouse poop out of the cabinets and did all the other cleaning. They DID deduct $50 from her rent for cleaning it up.

Well, now it's time for them to give Dae Lynn back her deposit. The wife is trying to make Dae Lynn pay for stuff that they know was that way when they lived there. In talking to her Dae Lynn argued about some things and the wife said that her husband said that was already that way but she put it on the list anyway.

Karlie had taken crayon to a wall that was textured so it was hard to get off. They were told to get it painted but the paint in the garage wasn't any good. Dae Lynn took Comet and finally got most of it off but the wife is still demanding that they buy paint and get it painted. She's also demanding that they come back and mop the kitchen and back porch AND shampoo the carpet. There is a screen on the front door that Dae Lynn agrees that they should pay for but she feels like the rest is up to the landlord.

Dae Lynn had a big arguement with the wife on Friday (Note that this is AFTER the Homecoming Queen Pageant). Dae Lynn also mentioned that she knew that they already had it rented so it couldn't have been in too bad of shape. She finally just gave her her address and told her that she wasn't going to argue with her and to do what she felt was right. I just cannot believe some people!!! Glen turned to me after Jaci won the Pageant and said that he thought that Dae Lynn would have trouble getting her deposit back. It makes me want to spit nails!!!!!
