I need a basic consultation about my case. A landlady don't give me security deposit back.
Her reasons: (actually she is creating new reasons almost every day)
- I need to pay for cignal modem which was renew before I moved to the house
- The TV was broken, but it was broken because it was old. It's natural for devices be broken after some amount of time. I did 0 afford to break it, and she knows it.
- For renew an aircon (same reason as above)
- I need to pay for some broken stuff. I can accept that I did it, I said immediately that I did it and I'm ready to pay. But she said "It's okay for me, don't need to pay", so I got her oral confirmation that I don't need to pay and I wasn't informed that it will be charged from security deposit. (Actually, I've tried to negotiate about it, but she is sure that I need to pay whole amount)
Next, we informed her, that we ready to move out, while we were at new place she came and changed a locker and took all my devices (macbook pro, few expensive phones, some other stuff) without my permission and didn't informed me that she did it, btw we had conversation with her after she did it via Facebook. When we called to her, she didn't want to give it back. Fortunately, I've got some of it back, but not all. It seems that she wanted to rob me. More over she took food from refrigerator.
If are there any law about it? I'm not local, so I'm now familiar with local low.
