Reply to check out inventory ie damage to walls etc tenants responsibility, disputed by tenant

by jpkeates

The amount that the tenant may owe you isn't limited by the deposit.
Obviously the amount you can claim via the company who protected it is capped by the amount protected. but when discussing the claim with the tenant, don't limit the claim to the amount of the deposit.

You claim...
