like i said before I did my part and cleaned, I wasnt informed that I had to carpet clean and the LLs wife told me I didnt need to fix the sink. So than I shouldnt have anything taken out of my deposit than.
You were informed you had to clean the carpet. It was in the lease which supercedes everything verbal. And they told you you didn't have to fix the sink because your security deposit covered the damage.
I would have charged you for a new sink professionally installed. Or at least a non broken used one professionally installed.
No point continuing to try and use logic or basic legal points here. The OP is using the forum to keep repeating herself so that she's all set to deliver the perfect case with no hesitation. Oh to be a fly on the wall ...

You can say this same thing 20,000 more times, or until you are blue in the face, and it still won't make it right legally or morally.
Now, in my very best mommy voice.....
LITTLE TEACHER NEVADA!
How many times do I have to tell you to clean your carpet?????
and
You're a big girl now, I shouldn't have to tell you that when you break something, you have to fix it!
I was going to post and reach out for some more insight but WOW saw this thread. This is crazy I posted something that sounds just like this but with less details, I'm the LL however, a month or more ago..... Smalls Claims, word of mouth...same issues/damages.....really?!?!?! I rented to a teacher not an aide though, she didn't carpet clean, damaged kitchen sink not the bathroom....Guess I'm not the only LL with these issues...hmm, This is strange. Wow

It certainly does sound almost identical. Your former tenant sounds as though she came out of the same nest as this little fledgling and I've no doubt at all that in both cases the old adage about survival of the stronger of the species will once again prevail and two cocky tenants will be walking out of the courtroom with their tails between their legs.
haha oh that was good I needed that! Well my case is this week so atleast Ill update you on my end!
