Hey SerfsUp, I just moved out of my apartment and my landlord is keeping half my security deposit. Is this normal?

Hi there 👋 What reasons did they give for the deductions?

They're charging me $400 for "small nail holes in the walls" and another $600 for "worn carpet." I lived there for 3 years though!

Got it. In most states, both of those would be considered normal wear and tear, which they couldn't charge you for. Upload your lease, photos (ideally from move in and now), and copies of communications with your landlord here: https://app.serfsup.com/upload

Great, I can do that. What's the plan?

We'll draft and send a demand letter on firm letterhead by email and certified mail within 4 hours. We'll await their response for one week, then explore options, including filing in small claims.
