Only for damage beyond reasonable wear and tear, plus rent, cleaning and costs the lease provides for. The state deposit statute draws that line, and whether small nail holes cross it is a judgment call at the walkthrough. Patching and touching them up before the landlord arrives takes the question off the table.
No later than 30 days after the renter moves out and returns possession, under the state deposit statute. The landlord sends the deposit balance, any prepaid rent balance and, if anything was deducted, a written notice that itemizes and explains each deduction.
Follow the drying time printed on the patching product, because it changes with the product and the depth of the hole. Shallow nail holes filled with lightweight spackle dry far faster than deep anchor holes built up in layers, which is why patching goes first on move-out day and paint goes last.
If the walkthrough is a day or two away and the walls still show every picture hook, do not wait for the weekend. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can patch, touch up and reset hardware before the landlord arrives.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
