If it were me, I would just give back the $759. Understood

upto this point you wanted to hang on, but the downside is you can lose more.  See the following from the letter.  If the tenant can't get the money back, he could just go there and do some legal-allowed damage.  On the other hand, if it does go to court, you are remote and if you are not present, you will lose.

 Under Louisiana Law, Mr. Hopper has the right to reimbursement from you for the improvements made to your property, or, alternatively, he can remove the improvements.  Mr. H has not exercised this right to reimbursement nor did he remove these improvements at the end of his tenancy.

• 其实从理智生意角度来讲就是退钱最好，还不到800，但是就是觉得不能遇事就怂，太窝囊了 -kikichichi- ♀ (0 bytes) () 06/07/2022 postreply 06:53:54
