We did our walk through almost 2 weeks ago and everything was fine. We got our full deposit back and was told it looked great. Now 2 weeks later the landlord is calling requesting we bring the shower head back we replaced while we were in there or they would charge me. Can they do that after that fact? As far as I am concerned I was told it looked great and got my money back, it's not my problem. She should have noticed that when we did our walk through. Am I correct? See the owners shower head was old and very gross so we bought a new one and put on it while we lived there. I threw the other one away because it was so gross. There is one on there and it's brand new. So can she request money from me at this point?

what a fool! especially being that u replaced her crappy one witha better newer one! she has no right to ask you for the money, she should have said something during the walk through.

She knows that you don't have the old one any more, she is just messing with you with empty threats. Tell her that she did her walk through and signed off on the apartment. When she gave you back your deposit, she ended the contract right then and there. You don't owe her anything now.

Obviously no other land lords answering you.
She can press criminal charges for theft against you. Any fixture, lighting, fencing, blinds, and bathroom fixtures that you add become part of the property and you can not remove them.
I am sure she did not think you were stealing anything and did not check to make sure all of hte fixtures were still attached.

Not really. Maybe you should ask her to pay you for what the replacement cost you - that might back her off.
It's an empty threat - she'd look pretty silly taking you to court over this one.

No, you are no longer on a lease. But, should have kept the old one. If she would have paid for it, then she would have a case. Don't worry about it. Tell her to sue you.

No. Your deposit was returned and there are no more contractual terms to bind you to respond to these demands.
