Paying more than the rental deposit?

Questioner

I rented a room (sublet) and damaged the floor. The deposit was €300. If the damage is more than €300, do I have to pay those costs?

Lawyer

Good afternoon, The deposit is intended to give the landlord some certainty that after the end of the lease, any damage can be covered. If the costs are higher than the deposit, you must also pay for that. It is important for the landlord to specify the costs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us without obligation. Gr, Mr. Mr. S. Leito FerLei Legal 06-49175526
