Getting the advance back without a fight
Walk through the flat together on the last day, read the meters, list damage beyond normal wear with a cost for each, and sign a settlement like this one. Normal wear (faded paint, small marks) is not damage.
Advance minus unpaid rent, bills and damage: the refund, with a settlement letter both sides sign.
| Advance held | |
| Less unpaid rent | |
| Less unpaid bills | |
| Less damage repairs | |
| Less other | |
