Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Two years ago, the owner of the townhouse I was renting in CA decided to sell. We were given a 30 day notice and vacated within the time frame. After 20 days later the property management company gave us a bill for "damages" to the property that included upgrades to the bathrooms and kitchen. We tried to dispute the charges with the property managers, but they sent us to collections. We have finally proved to the collection agency that we were not at fault for damages and they have since canceled our debt with them. Am I still able to recover my deposit? How would I go about recovering it?

You will have to sue the owner. Be advised that the owner can counter sue you as well.
