Somemom and UCSD Dad- it is not my D but the D of a friend of mine. I have not talked to her in a few weeks so don’t know how it was resolved. They think the landlord might be letting the previous tenants stay longer or he is renting it to someone else for the summer. The sad thing is the girls are pretty much in a bind. If they walk away and break the lease and take him to small claims they will have to come up with money for a new deposit, plus find a place. And from what the girls are saying the landlord has a record of not paying the fines against him. The Rent control board is willing to represent the girls. Sadly one of the girls is the first in her family to go to college with non english speaking parents and she will not be able to come up with money to fund another place while they take the landlord to court.

I work for a management company. We give the keys when we get the signed lease and cashiers check. We also in almost all cases work with the tenant to refund the security deposit.
