Hi. I saw you asking does a landlord have to prove damages caused by the tenant or not. Yes, the landlord is required by law to prove the damages to be eligible for required compensation from the tenant. If the landlord withholds any part of the security deposit, they are usually required by law to provide an itemised list of damages and the corresponding cost of repairs. Let me share more with you.

Are Landlords Required to Prove Damages?

As I said, a list has to be provided, which includes the items and the corresponding cost of repairs. The list should include:

  • Specific information regarding the damage or reason for the deduction.

  • The estimated cost of repair or replacement, ideally supported by invoices or receipts. 

In case the landlord can’t furnish the itemised list, or it is vague or incomplete, this could be evidence that the landlord is wrongfully withholding the security deposit. This is all I have to share with you. I hope you now have the answer to does landlord have to prove damages.
