My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Virginia
I'm a college student who rented in Richmond VA and i'm going through some issues with our security deposit. We just recieved our deductions and a lot of these prices seem absolutely unreasonable. The one that was the most expensive happened to be for painting...charging us over 800 dollars. A majority of our walls were clean except for the normal wear and tear. We had a couple walls where we hung up some items. Not wanting to go through a large fee we spackled a majority of these holes. While cleaning the walls from any type of marks made during our residence, i accidentally removed some spackle from where i covered and didn't have anymore to fix the area. Most of these holes are from nails and some marks were made from the wall putty i used. The putty happened to peel off a tiny bit of paint/drywall but can be easily fixed (these marks are the size of a penny). There are a few of these marks on the wall from where the putty peeled and it's all in one area of the wall (a reminder to never use wall putty because they REALLY stick). I just want to know if 800 dollars is actually "reasonable" for this amount of damage on one wall in an apartment. Here's a picture of the wall. http://ift.tt/2dIygz5 it's terrible quality from afar, so make sure you zoom in.
