Yes, highest paid coach in the SEC.

The current provision remains in place that if LSU wins a national football championship, Miles' pay will grow to $1,000 more than the highest paid football coach in the Southeastern Conference. The contract will run through 2017.

I would threaten to get an attorney involved over that one and see if she drops it without a fight.


He suggested if she does try to itemize the locks, that I require her to produce a receipt, which she probably will not be able to do, and even if she does have one he does not believe that I should be responsible for it.

Well, I have spoken to our in house attorney here and he advised me to wait a couple of weeks and see if they respond with either the deposit or an itemized statement on what the deposit is being used for. If they do not issue one or the other or a combination thereof within 30 days of us vacating, they have then failed to comply with La Law and will have to fork over the entire deposit.
Apparently, by law, a landlord has 30 days to return your deposit, or give you a statement with itemized cost of what your deposit was used for. If they fail to do so within 30 days, you are entitled to a refund of your full deposit. So I think I am going to let sleeping dogs lie for the next 16 days and see if she tries to send anything.

Great information Thanks a lot! Do you think I should be responsible for them having to change the locks?

Security Deposit Return

Posted by lafayetteahole on 9/14/10 at 11:26 am
I hope this is the correct place to post this. I am looking for some advice.

We recently moved out of a rent house where we had paid a $700 deposit. The only thing wrong was a small patch of carpet, maybe 12" x 12" that has a stain where my daughter left a permanent marker opened. The room is approximately 10' x 10'. This patch of carpet could be repaired, but even replacement of the entire room would cost no more than $200 or so, I would assume.

Also, we were told to leave the keys at the house when we were done. We left the keys on the counter and locked the door behind us. Now the landlord is saying they did not have another key, so had to have the locks broken and replaced and are saying that is also our responsibility.

When we moved in, we signed a 6 month lease, renewable to 18 months with first option to purchase afterwards. They decided they were going to sell after 6 months, and we were not in a position to buy at this time. They are saying they gave us the ONLY key since we were buying the house.

My opinion is that we were renting with the OPTION to buy. They were still responsible for the house, so why wouldn't they have a key. Seems to me that is their mistake.

How should I go about handling this. This lady is a total psycho. We were told a lot about her ways AFTER we moved in, but had no reason to believe it until the end of our time there. She is being totally unreasonable.

Please help! Thanks!
