[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I rented a place for 3 years and recently moved out.  The landlord called me and said that the sliding glass on the deck has a stain on it and his handyman said I must have put bleach on it and that's why the stain is there,  I have never even washed that glass because I had curtains covering that area. That stain is in between the 2 glasses on the inside,  it looks foggy and is pretty much condensation but he's trying to wipe out off from the outside and is persuaded is a stain.  I told him it was condensation and he should fire that handyman because that glass was never bleached but hes asking if it's condensation why is it just on one side of the glass and why don't the other windows have it? That door also had vertical blinds that would fall off every time you pull it, so it's missing a few slats,  can he charge me for that as well? He wants to charge me for the glass door n the vertical blinds[/quote]

If the vertical blinds were broken, you should have reported it to your landlord and taken pictures when that happened so that you documented it and told him to fix it.  He can charge you for them if they were fine when you took possession and they were broken and missing slats when you moved out, yes.

Did your landlord ever tell you that you must not use bleach on the sliding glass door?  Lots of people clean windows with bleach.  I'm not saying that you did it, but if that's what he's claiming you did and wants to charge you for it, I don't think that's legit. [/quote]

He never told me not to use bleach but that's besides the point. I have never even cleaned that glass door,  I had curtains over it,  so can count the times ive even seen the door while I was living there. I didn't report the blinds, when the slats started falling off, they were old blinds and like I said because I didn't use that door often, it didn't particularly bother me, but they would fall off whenever you slide them open.[/quote]

You never cleaned it? I guess you should be charged a cleaning fee.[/quote]
