Residential leaseExample draft

12. Security deposit. Landlord will refund the deposit, less deductions for damage beyond normal wear and tear1, within 15 days after the lease ends; if Landlord intends to make a claim on the deposit, Landlord will send Tenant written notice of the claim by certified mail, or by e-mail where the law allows, within 30 days.

1Question for an attorney

Does carpet wear from two years of normal living count as damage?

18. Default. If rent is late, Landlord may demand payment by giving Tenant written notice allowing three days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, to pay2; if Tenant does not pay in full within that time, Landlord may end the lease and file an eviction action.

2Question for an attorney

If I pay part of the rent during the three days, does the notice still count?
