I lived in a 2 Bedroom Townhouse at VIISA Resources, Riverside Village and left back in December 14, 2015 when my contract ended. I attempted several times to contact the building admin to surrender the keys and finally we were able to set an appointment. However, on the said date the did not show and I was told over the phone that it is ok to surrender the keys to the guard. I did so in good faith. I left the unit in pretty good condition, residing in the unit for only 1 year. Only 1 wall in the living room had punctures due to my paintings and the same in the Masters Bedroom. 1 wall had holes. Aside from that the paint and the rest of the unit was left in good condition. I received an email from the Building Admin today after several follow ups that out of my Total 31k Deposit only 6k would be returned. The administrator informed me over the phone that they will paint the whole unit regardless of it's condition and they will charge me the following.. I don't mind for the stuff I really have to pay like utilities but they are scamming me out of my deposit? What are my legal options or steps I should take?
