Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
We ended a residential lease (single family home) 9 months ago. Our landlord (who has only 1 leasing property) withheld $600 from our $2000 security deposit for landscaping. He said that he needed to resod 1/4 of front lawn and then would do other landscarping for curb appeal.
Our lease required us to mow and edge lawn and rake up leaves. We and the landlord agree that this was done. However he still kept the $600. I live 1 mile from my former rental house and the lawn was not re sodded and no additional plants or landscaping completed. Is this enough for a small claims court filing? We have the photos of lawn when we lived there, at time of final walkthrough and current state of lawn.

The fact that the damage has not been repaired does not mean the damage was not done. Missing from your post is any detail about the alleged damage to the yard.
