Deductions from the security deposit upon termination of Lease Agreement
Hi,
Rocky Real Estate is deducting painting and cleaning charges by mentioning the clause number 6 of the agreement signed between me and them. Clause number 6 says if the tenant vacates the flat before 3 years than the tenant has to pay painting and cleaning charges.
Howsoever landlord has not given the 2nd-year contract to Rocky and they itself has not managed the building for 3 years, so is clause number 6 void or not? They still hold the property till 19th Sep 2017 and I have not handed till now to them.
Please suggest appropriate action. I cant let them play with my hard earned money.
Please note that the fact that Clause no. 6 should not apply to Rocky Real Estate as the property manager does not make the clause Void. It should be passed to the new Manager or to the landlord directly.
We will need to examine the lease agreement to be sure of the advice we give you. If you wish to get a solid answer please send the agreement to me through aelnaggar@lkmbgroup.com
Best regards,
Ahmed Elnaggar
