Tenant used to have lots of storage items in the backyard. I gave notices in the past, but tenant only removed some items that were over the fence height. Now, tenant moved out, and I realized he removed about 8" deep soil below concrete slab level in the backyard.(why?) I have before move-in pictures on file that soil level was the same as concrete slab.
It's about 80 cubic ft. soil need to be refilled. I got estimates from $500 - $600. Is it reasonable? If I deduct this amount from the security deposit, would I be challenged in court?
Also, under kitchen sink is leaking due to tenant did self-repair plumbing such as replaced a new kitchen faucet (a high end faucet, but incorrectly installed, so leaking under sink) and "patch" up sink drain with plumber putty. The original Moen kitchen faucet (about $90) was brand new a year ago when tenant moved in. Can I charge this $90 Moen kitchen faucet that tenant removed without permission?
Thank you in advance.

apparantly nothing is safe. I would charge his security for both items includding reseeding and getting the lawn growing, give him a proper accounting of the money and have proof in case he sues you --74.77.xx.xx |

I think it's a police matter that is NOT protected by the "landlord/tenant relationship". --73.215.xxx.xx |

AW,
You need TOPSOIL, seed, water, labor...
Faucet prices have gone up - my lease is clear: REPLACEMENT COST plus labor.
Tip: I only allow Pfister faucets - many many over many years without a single call back!
We like to settle this without going to court.

Yes and yes. Be sure to offer the two week prior to move out inspection and identify those items that you will be charging against their deposit --169.150.xxx.xx |
