Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
I have a tenant that recently left an apartment in a private house in Brooklyn, NY. The tenant left the apartment with a gash in the wall, also small holes from nails and screws;which was against the lease, urine stains produced by their pet dog, a horrible paint job that was done to cover a color that I did not agree to, but told them it had to be changed back to the original paint style and color when they decided to move. To fix all the items listed above, I informed them that I would not be returning the escrow from their apartment. Now they are threatening to take legal action. Do they have a case?
