Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

Move-out Question
We recently moved out of our apartment. When we moved out, the leasing agent stated the apartment was the cleanest she has ever seen, this was on 11/17/03. We received a letter 1-5-04. The letter is dated 12-16-03, but postdated on the envelope for 12-23-03. In the letter, it stated replaced carpet - $500. Later, they said it was for pet damages, but we don't have a pet and their charging us full price for new carpet when it was old when we moved in. Here is my Question: If the Landlord gets thirty days to post damages, is the 30 days based on the date on their letter or on the postdate from the mail envelope.

Re: Move-out Question

Take them to small claims court. You are eligible for treble damages. Best of luck.
