Court Enters Take Nothing Judgment in Former Tenants' Security Deposit Lawsuit

Following a bench trial, a Bexar County Judge entered a Take Nothing Judgment in a lawsuit filed against D'Ann Harper Property Management Corporation by the former tenants of a managed property in San Antonio, Texas. Trey Wilson represented the Defendant in the suit.

The tenants filed their suit when -- after vacating the property -- the property manager withheld a portion of the security deposit to pay for damage to a door frame. The damage occurred during the term of the lease, but the Tenants demanded that the landlord make and pay for the repairs. Citing a provision in the standard TREC lease form that requires tenants to pay for all repairs to doors, windows and screens, the landlord refused. Thereafter, the tenants vacated and filed suit claiming that their security deposit was wrongfully withheld.

After considering the lease, the Tenants' testimony and various other exhibits admitted into evidence, the Court granted a verdict in favor of the property management company, and denied all of the Tenants' claims.
