The landlord informed us that he will be moving back into the house at the end of our lease (6/1) so we have not paid May's rent yet because we assumed it would be covered by the "last month's rent" we paid upfront. We understand that the security deposit will continue to be held. The landlord is insisting that the "last month's rent" is actually part of the security deposit and will be refunded to us and we owe rent for May. It does not state this in our lease. The lease does say "in the event that damages exceed the amount of the initial security deposit, the last month's rent may be used to cover these damages". What do we do now?

Please give me a call and we can discuss the differences. FYI: I believe it is a Title II weapon sold by a Class III dealer, if you want to be technically correct. Thank you! Douglas Turner Scott:

I am looking at possibly setting up a NFA trust here in Colorado. Could you explain the "timeline" of what I will be looking at after establishing a NFA trust with you, to transfering my first NFA device? I have had the option of forming an LLC in Co to transfer a class II weapon explained to me briefly also. As I am aware that these 2 processes are completely different, with 2 diffeerent outcomes, which would be the more reasonable way to go if one was mainly interested in transfering a Class II weapon. Thanks for any info you can pass on. Scott Hello. I am looking at possibly setting up a NFA trust here in Colorado.

However, we cannot answer specific questions in an open forum nor can we do so without reading the rental/lease agreement. I suggest finding a local lawyer in Pueblo to answer specific questions.

I live in Pueblo CO. When I moved in to the house, I paid $575.00 security deposit. I surendered the premises to my landlord on 9/27/2011. I contacted my former landlord on 10/27/11 regardin the return of my deposit. He stated that there would be some charges because there was a problem with the dishwasher and some plumming. On 12/06/11, 70 days after surendering the premesis, I sent the required certified letter demanding the return of the full deposit within 7 days or I would persue legal action and request Trebel damages. On 12/7/11, the landlord responded by sending me a check for $275.00 and a letter listing detailed charges. My questions, do I still have grounds to sue in small claims court for the full amount or Trebel damages because I have waited for more than the required 60 day time limit?
