New World Order

The law in California is that when you move out, the landlord has three weeks to refund your deposit and provide an itemized list of what was spent out of it... life expectancies of items come into play, too, meaning the landlord can't charge you for new carpeting if the old one is 15 years old when you move out. Similarly, if the shower had only been subjected to normal wear and tear, the landlord can't charge you for it. But you can expect for holes in the wall, broken windows or tears in the vinyl flooring that was brand-new when you moved in to be taken out of the deposit.

Is the list in English?
 
If not, I can figure out enough Spanish to know what I'm being charged for... Spanish uses the same number system as English.

If I do get a check, you can be sure I'll be going to their bank and cashing it there instead of depositing it in my account and risk getting charged a fee for depositing a rubber check.
