Question:
My son moved out of an apartment on July 22, 2009. We received a letter from the landlord regarding security deposit refund/charges on December 3, 2009. He listed cleaning, damages, late payment charges without receipts. Illinois law states, "...he/she must give you an itemized statement of damages along with paid receipts within 30 days of the date you moved." His lease states, "...LANDLORD shall return remaining (security deposit) balance (after charges) to TENANT within ninety-five (95) working days (excluding weekends and holidays). My question is, does my son go by state law or the lease agreement? By the way, the security deposit was for $900 and his total charges deducted were $2,000, so he claims we owe him $1,100. Also, isn't the landlord required to give us receipts to show evidence of charges according to the state law?
