Long story short, we sold our house and decided not to move, new owner was going to use it as a rental so we decided to rent it back foor a while (cheaper than a mortgage!) anyhoo, we signed a 1 year lease agreement and gave a $1000 security deposit which I think was for is we moved before our contract was up. We've been here 2 years and our contract expired and our landlord was so relaxed about us staying here he said we'd just continue it like it was, and we never had to sign anything. Now before we sold the house we cleaned the carpets but they were realy worn and we made that clear to him. My question would be- could he try and keep our $1000 deposit towards new carpet or by law does he have to give it back to us when we decide to move?
