I moved out of my apartment on 7/24. I was charged a $1500 deposit when I moved in. They are claiming I have $770.66 in water charges after I moved out and are refusing to give me the rest of my deposit. I am attaching their itemized statement sent. There was an issue with the toilet that they are claiming is my fault because I did not claim in. I noticed an issue in my move out process but was it did not seem to be an urgent issue and I knew I was about to return the apartment to them. I assumed they would take care of it upon return of keys since they should be coming to check the apartment after I leave. They also added in other months water charges but those months should have been previously billed and there is no reason why there should be extra charges. I paid each month what was stated to be paid. They are responsible for billing me for the water. I would like the reminder of my deposit back.Initial Complaint

Lykens purchased my property from my previous landlord and also inherited the existing leases at the property. Upon taking over the property they did not do an inspection of the unit. As I had lived there for over 2 years and this was my third landlord/company, I did not expect them to have any photos of the property prior to my moving in. I say this because when I went to move out they neglected to reimburse my entire security deposit. I moved out the last day of April, 2023 and a portion of my security deposit was returned to me on May 31st. In email communications with them I received a copy of the charges and they were as follows: broken oven door - $120, heavy paint damage $150, two broken blinds $90. I followed up with them asking for evidence of those items being functional prior to my moving in and subsequently broken upon moving out on that same day, May 31st. I have yet to hear back from them. I know from experience living there that the oven door is not broken as it is functional given the right usage. Also, painting is to be done each time there is a new tenant so for them to qualify it as "heavy" seems like an intentional go around to be able to charge me. I moved into that property in September of 2020 and there were existing damages to the windows/blinds that I noted with my first landlord that is currently out of business. I have not been provided with any photos or information as to the damages noted in the ledger, but I do have some photos of the property when I first moved in. The total amount of money I am still expecting from them is $360.
