The difference in what you are being charged and what you believe you should be charged is likely one of your damages. For example, if your landlord kept $1000 but you think it should only be $400, then part of your damages is $600.
Depending on what happened in your case, you may have other claims against your landlord. You may want to review your lease (if you had one) and WA Residential landlord-tenant act. The statutes can be accessed here: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=59.18 . You may want to review your facts and options with an attorney. |
