DUPLEX DAMAGE

That was my perception of the explanation of the depreciated value on an automobile. I am going to stand firm on this issue, with the exception that I know that some of the damages was mine and I owe them. They are dragging their feet now and I haven't heard from them in 2 days since I emailed explaining that her office manager said that she did have it. The problem is that whenever a service person as you might know is involved with any legal situation, it makes for unpleasant working environments. If all personally identifying information is removed, when recieved would you consider taking a look at the list of charges and possibly give an opinion as to the validity of charges. I will put my comments as well and ask for your unbiased opinion, especially as a landlord. Thank you so much for your time and opinions and information it has helped to ease my mind a little.

Let me know when you get the list. I will look it over and give you my opinion.

Hello, I am still awaiting to hear from the landlord. I have emailed numerous times and have not been able to get her to respond, with the damage list and charges. I received 1 list Jan 28 and it was estimates and quotes. I have phoned and left phone messages and still nothing. My Insurance company has tried for over 2 weeks to get in touch with them and no response. My question is, do they have a time frame, in which they are to submit a bill to myself? I know that they have completed all repairs, because they have it up for rent already. Do I try and contact them again, or do you have any advice? Thank you very much.

In Missouri, they should have had an actual list (with the exception of those charges estimated because the work could not be completed within that time) to you within 30 days. Missouri Ann. Statute 535.300 I suggest you look up and read this statute. Then send a demand letter for your deposit to the LL by certified mail, return receipt requested, and keep a copy. I'd quote this statute to them in that latter. If they still don't rely, you may want to get legal services from your branch of the service involved, or sue the LL in small claims court and make them prove the actual charges there. Good luck.
