Deducting from sceurity deposit
We recently ended our residential lease agreement because my husband joined the army and we had to relocate. $500 was deducted from our security deposit for the following reasons: reconnection of water and electricity for the new tenants, new lock for the new tenants, additional pet deposit although we only had our pets there for one month and informed the landlord, misc. repairs that were not mentioned during the final walk through. Can we be charged for these thing?

forgery of change in lease
I recently received a copy of my rental lease and there is a change in the amount of rent to be paid. My rent has been $706.00 for the term of my lease which will be up in October. The typed $706.00 is marked through with a line and above it was written $760.00 and two sets of initials are next to the change. One set of initials are ineligible and the other set is SS which are my initials however, I NEVER initialled this change and have NEVER paid $760.00 a month for rent. Someone forged my initials and want to make sure I will not be held accountable for this extra ”unauthorized” change in rent. I do not understand why someone would forge such a change in my lease.
