Of course that opens new questions. If the landlords’ check said paid in full, or full payment, or any similar wording, then this deal is done. There is no going back to say - you still owe me more! Personally, if they’re out 1 month’s rent, divided by 4, I think they’re lucky. It may not be all the’re entitled to, but they seem to have jumped into this lease without a great deal of thought, and as I see it have learned some valuable life lessons relatively cheap. Not all college lessons are taught in the classroom. I’d say- Sounds like they will be intelligent, cautious, and persistent. They will go far!

What are treble damages? In Ohio we permit triple damages if a tenant can prove a landlord has fraudulently withheld security deposit. BUT here, it must be shown to be a deliberate fraud withholding sec dep., and not just a difference of opinion.
