  • That’s not your fault and that’s not 300 dollars. A 8th sheet of cabinet grade plywood, a touch up portion of matched paint, a screwdriver and a drill is all it takes to make the right door match the left.

    She is trying to use your deposit in a manner that a deposit is not intended for.

    If you have the stomach for it, I’d fight over this.

    ETA - 150 bucks at Lowe’s for a single lavatory vanity, with cultured marble counter and undermount sink pre installed. Pre painted, partially assembled, and of higher quality than what the leech has provided.

    Do nothing, except fight that.




  • First of all, death to land leeches. Depending upon what the cabinet is made of and what portion is damaged it legitimately might not be fixable. If it’s press wood, forget about it. Water makes the fibers swell, destroying the glue binder and then it’s cooked. It’ll just crumble no matter what you do.

    That said, I’d question what the damage is from. Can she prove it was you? Where is the damage? Is it even near the strainer/trap/drain/etc? If you open the cabinet, stop up the sink and then dump it do you see water running out from somewhere? Is it along a back wall, or back splash or something like that? If it isn’t actively leaking, I don’t see how it can be blamed on you, but that fact doesn’t matter if you have fuck-all for tenants rights wherever you are.

    Do you have any tenant/renters rights where you are?

    Do you want to post photos of the supposed damage?
