I am a landlord and my tenant has moved out. He is waiting for his security deposit back. But first i must inspect house and see if there are any damages.
From what i see...he has parked a car on the lawn that leaked oil. So there are oil blotches in the yard. This cannot be good. Oil ruins grass. Now...i know i have to charge him for this...but how much? can grass be restored after oil from a car leaked on it?
Even if there is a dollar amount to put on the lawn fixture...i won't know if the grass is totally restored and back to normal until it grows back which can take months. So can i wait until then to see if he should be given his security deposit back?
I would love to hear from landlords or tenants who have had similiar situations.
