May 31, 2019 – I sent Tanya Huettel the following text message requesting an updated status of security deposit
Good Morning Tanya,
Just sending you a quick message to get an updated status of our security deposit status refund…It has now past the 30 day mark as of today 190531. Also can you please include a list of itemized deductions along with receipts for work that was Done on home ty.

There will be a delay due to providing an itemized list and security deposit. The house was left filthy. And, many any of the items far exceeded normal wear and tear, and were left undone, became damaged or needed repair due to negligence and I wasn’t notified of any of them, as I requested & we’d had issues with previously. I have photos of it all, and I need to get receipts compiled, which I will. I will update you asap once this list is together and we can discuss, if needed. However, currently some things exceed your security deposit. As you knew, I intended on selling immediately and I am unsure at this point if the potential buyer will request these repairs. So, I am attempting to refund you the most possible but until we get to that due diligence point, I will not know. I have a meeting with attorneys today (hopefully) or Monday, depending on their schedules. We’ll be in touch.
June 10, 2019 – Sent Tanya a formal security deposit letter (certified mail) stating that she had until June 30, 2019 to return the full security deposit for would be forced to follow suit in small claims court..
June 12, 2019 – Tanya response (text message)
I just received your letter. The damages due to neglect from leaks, and other issues that were not made aware to me at any point may or may not need to be fully replaced. At this point, I have addressed and fixed the major issues, pulled wads of hair & toys out of drain, and disclosed these issues to realtor. HOWEVER, if the buyer demands replacement for these neglectful actions they will need to be reimbursed. Further, you were not in town and I have a plethora of photos from stained stone in bathroom, hair, oven took full day labor to clean, sharpie/marker marks, and your wife left behind her blue “toy” for my son to find…lastly, you were given 2 weeks free rent to clean at origination prior to move in. However, opted to move directly in. So, the already accrued costs are excessive and if I were to replace vanity/stone/granite/walls, it will exceed your security deposit. However, I am attempting to try to get what I can back to you after that point of due diligence. I will not hesitate to take you to small claims as well if this continues when I have always provided you with my direct contact information as well as plumbers direct phone number, to have at least alerted me to a problem immediately, as we have addressed previously. So, I have before/after photos (holes in yard, chewed thru holes in my new fencing, hair, buckets under sink, stained counters, unremovable gunk in tub, etc etc) and plumber reports of conditions, and everything in writing about my attempts at your improved communications about issues at MY house in order to address immediately BEFORE turning into bigger issues. So, please feel free to take me to small claims, the plethora of photos and documentation of both inside and out will not be in your favor. I threw away Amanda’s toy. Just in case she was wondering where it was. Lol
Finally —– Me and my family have detail photos of the home after we moved out… Also please be aware that we are in a financial strain due to my military commitments coming up… I have a 1 year deployment soon and will not be able to handle this case while I am gone.. My wife will be the one taking care of this issue… Any help would be greatly appreciated.
