[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 548975, member: 84"] Suzie, this is why I always took photos of places I rented after cleaning up. My kids did it as well......after seeing husband and I do it they just thought it's what you do when you rent. It has helped them more than once to fight claims of damages that weren't there. This is also why I avoid doing business of any kind with friends or family. Not all of them burn you by a long shot, but it only takes one. I did rent from my mom for about 8 mos......but never had an issue and she helped cover my fanny for stepdad's sake because she knew he'd accuse me of something and took before and after photos. (and forced him to help us move lol ) His kids had rented her house before me, well I say "rent" but they were in it for free even though they were pulling in 50.00 per hour at the time building a nuclear power plant, and trashed the place because she evicted them (tried to do it nicely) so that I had somewhere to go. Stepdad was ready to murder by the time he was done with repairs from their antics, and yes, he forced them to come and help him repair the damage and cost came out of their pockets. I would not pay for damages you didn't do, period. If they have a major issue (and they will) they can keep the deposit, that's what it's for. If they weren't smart enough to get a deposit (regardless of reason, even if it was just being nice), then they have no business being landlords because they're idiots. Hugs [/QUOTE]
