My landlord tried to keep my security deposit using a fake water damage invoice
I moved out of a place in Sacramento last month and the landlord sent me a $1,850 deduction for "water damage" with an invoice from a company I never saw. I asked for the service address and the date they came out, and suddenly they stopped replying. California Civil Code 1950.5 is pretty clear that they need to send an itemized statement within 21 days, so I filed in small claims for the full return plus penalties. Has anyone else dealt with a landlord pulling this move and actually won?

That invoice from a company you never saw is the part that gets me, because if they can't give you a date or address, how did they even bill for work that supposedly happened. Did you ever find out if that company is real or just a name they made up, cause that changes things if you can prove it was fake. Keep your texts and emails where they dodged your questions, since that silence is basically them admitting they have nothing.
