Hawaiian Properties took all my deposit to repaint
Just moved out of a rental managed by Hawaiian Properties and they took $1,700 out of my security deposit to “repaint.” This seems atrocious to me because there was nothing beyond normal wear and tear for a unit I spent 8 years in. All I got was a measly $70 securityu deposit check after paying for professional cleaning and doing some repairs myself before moving out.
Is this worth pursuing in small claims court? Has anyone had a similar experience with Hawaiian Properties. I’ve never had a worse landlord.
(For the record, we had a different property manager when we first moved in. I’m aware of Hawaiian Properties bad reputation and would have avoided them otherwise.) #local source
