How do I dispute charges from former landlord for damages ? Landlord has sent me a response to my letter to vacate 43 days after I moved. He has kept my $1350 deposit and charging me additional $464 items including re attaching the downspout after windstorm mowing the lawn and such. He never gave me a written letter to allow me to be present at the time of the walk thru. I don’t want him to keep any of my deposit but if he feels to charge me for cleaning and trash removal I don’t feel I should be paying additional money. How do I dispute these charges in Washington county MD. And I feel like he didn’t follow procedure.

Write him a formal letter demanding to see what the charges are for and send it through certified mail. Dispute the charges you feel are wrong and demand your money, if he fails to deliver sue him.
