I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. [Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]
Regards, What the landlord fails to realize is the following:
-We are tenants and are not involved in his personal life, nor did he notify us of his "family emergency" which has nothing to do with returning our deposit.
-He FAILED to provide us our deposit within 30 days, per Texas Property Code, and unfortunately for him, that is considered wrongfully withholding our deposit, no matter how he feels about the situation or even IF there was damage caused by us.
-The people did not want to buy the property because there are SEVERAL structural things wrong with the property. Remember I was there with all the inspectors.
-All showings while we were living there were granted, the only time was when we were not home, which is normal because we have daily lives to live, we requested the landlord give us at least 1-2 days so we can be prepared for showings. WHICH IS NORMAL IN THE HOUSE HUNTING PROCESS since we were still living there.
-He deducted for normal wear and tear, and deducted for things done to the property prior to our move in, which we noted in our move-in and move-out forms. Your pictures even helped prove our court case even more. So thank you!
-He also doesn't realize that we have emails from the water company because he failed to provide us with a bill for almost 5 months, requiring us to contact the water company through our own means, because he was unavailable, and also had $800 past due balance on the property. We also have saved our emails, texts, and phone calls throughout the duration of our lease and his unavailability, because we knew he would try to do something like this.
-We are suing him in court for our deposit plus 3x the deposit withheld PLUS court PLUS $100. Which he we lose because all of the above does not matter when you violated the Texas Property Code by not returning our deposit within 30 days AND deducting for repairs AFTER the 30 days time limit was up.

Tenant moved in February 2014 after signing twelve months (12 months) lease to end January 31, 2015. In October 2014, landlord notified tenant of his intention to sell the property hence he will not renew the lease in January 2015. On February 2,...
2015 I contacted the tenant for location of keys to the property. February 4, 2015 tenant came to my office asking for more time to locate alternate accommodation. Month-to-month lease was signed at that time with the agreement that tenant shall allow property to be shown and either party (landlord or tenant) must give thirty days (30 days) notice to vacate the property or terminate the lease. Tenant was not very cooperative with showing, asking for showing to be restrictive to 8 – 5pm or Saturday s. March 25, 2015 landlord gave final notice to tenant to vacate the property by end of April. Meanwhile, I had to travel out of the country for a family emergency. April 28, 2015 I sent notice to tenant about appraiser coming to the property on April 30th. Appraiser was unable to gain access to the property to inspect it because the tenant had applied dead bolt to the back of the door. Buyer finally backed out of the deal. May 1, 2015 someone from my office contacted tenant regarding inability to access the property for the final move out inspection: key unusable due to dead bolt applied by tenant, garage door opener non functional due to tenant disconnecting utility services before final walk through inspection. Landlord was able to get electricity reconnected to the property on June 5th and inspection was done noting multiple stains on the carpet; cut out portion of carpet in the closet; oil stains on the garage floor; damaged front door knob. Estimate of the repair and balance of the deposit of $670.00 was mailed to tenant June 6, 2015. Tenant noted issue with water bill in your letter, rent was NOT inclusive of water bill. Tenant receive water bill directly from the water company. Tenant prepared inventory and condition list at the time of move in. Should you require more information, do not hesitate to contact me.
