I had rented my condo to an unpleasant “condo maintenance company” as my tenant. Had to end the lease prematurely, a lot of trouble. Now I am deducting about $500 from their deposit of $2150, and he is threatening me that “his attorney will be moving forward and pursue every legal right he has as a tenant enforcing the RLTO”.. am I at wrong here? Anyone knows RLTO?

No but i am assuming his attorney fees will be way more then $500 for him to truly move forward with anything legal. I’d just keep it and call his bluff.

Second what PM1 said. I just dealt with something like this in Florida as a tenant, where the landlord wanted to not return anything to me (unjustly). I looked up the statutes and noted that it required them to send me an itemized list through certified mail by X number of days. I waited the requisite number of days and then sent a letter signed by a friend who’s a lawyer threatening to sure if I didn’t get my money back. The landlord consulted some lawyers who basically said she had no recourse because the time has passed and paid me back the full amount (legally, she could have separately sued me for damages after returning the deposit).

To be honest though, the process to actually go through with a suit in small claims court would have been a pain in the butt and may not have been worth the time and effort for me. If she hadn’t paid me, I’m not sure how I might have proceeded (although the law was on my side)

Know the laws in your state. In some cases, you have to itemize anything you deduct from the security deposit. As long as you’re clear as to why you’re deducting it, you should be fine.

Tips for using free time effectively in order to avoid burnout? I had a really tough winter and spring. In the last few months, things have been busy but not all-consuming. I actually have a bit of free time on the weekends/evenings but I’m finding that it doesn’t make me feel refreshed or rested. I don’t really feel like I’m getting mental space from work, even though I can theoretically “unplug” a bit. Any habits or hobbies that help you create balance and separate yourself from work?
