            Answered
            I had moved out of one of their rental properties and was charged $600 of my deposit. The original deposit was $2,000 and was only returned $1,395. I can agree the Mother's Suite could have been cleaned a little more thoroughly as I did not clean the windows or take down the light fixture to clean on the inside of it. The oven also could have been cleaned more completely but I did use a whole can of oven cleaner to do my best job. There were also 2 blinds I mentioned I had not replaced. That being said, I filled out a move in/move out checklist upon first entering the home initially and upon moving out. Also I was not given a walk-through of the house nor was it properly cleaned before I moved in; therefor I do not know if they had done a walk-through previous to me moving in and if so any notes were taken. The oven was not cleaned before I moved in and were stains in almost every kitchen cabinet. The back door had damage already from previous tenants I was charged for. All in all I would just appreciate a more fair refund of my deposit recalculating the fees I do not feel are fair. Overall I was not satisfied with the home and had a number of issues my year plus living there. The house has minimal insulation, if any. Furnace did not work properly I did not use it once. There was one window unit AC installed that was older and hadn't been serviced in years, it blew warm air after reaching around 85 degrees outside. I was left without electricity to half of the house for over 2 weeks in July 6 months pregnant due to electrical issues & house needing rewiring which there was never any solution to that nor anything done to put me more at ease. I was charged for light bulbs that didn't need replacing. Charged for bathroom cleaning, windows, all cabinets, stove range hood, refrigerator, and sweeping/mopping of the mother's suite; all things I had cleaned.
