Can a landlord deduct more from my security deposit after we already signed a paper stating only a certain amount will be deducted? For instance, I had the preliminary walk-through where the landlord said all I need to do is clean the kitchen real good and will only take $75 out of my deposit. A week later, the landlord says she will be taking more out! The $75 deduction is for re-painting but I read somewhere that in the state of CA, there is no need to deduct for re-painting if there is not major damage done. Also, I moved out 8 days earlier than what I was suppose to so am I entitled to get the 8 days prorated back to me? Lastly, I read somewhere that in some states the landlord is suppose to pay interest on the deposit every month, is that true for California? How does that work exactly? I hope someone can help! Thank you.
