My rental was very damaged by the last tenant so I am having a lot of work done. I have to get the security deposit letter mailed in two days but may not know the extent of the cost to repair by then. Can I estimate? Also has anyone everI presses charges on the damages done by a horrible tenant?

Since the laws regarding deposit refunds vary from state to state, where are you located?

You must give them a written itemized statement with in 21 days or they can sue you for double the security dep. Make sure you have proof of mailing certified/registered and keep it. You cant have the police do anything about what they did while they where your tenant.It is what they call a civil matter. Now you post all entrances with a note about no tresspassing/unauthorized entry . have pictures of everything damaged/left behind.If they come back now they are on the criminal side of the law. You will have to estimate alot of things.The construction guys are usually booked out for a month or more.They will give you an estimate
