This thread is being sidetracked a little bit so I want to get it back on course. Lets be clear with a couple of things.
I have not made any demands with the LL. I was simply stating that my family has a lot of money invested into the property. Whether we stay or move really is not the point of the thread. I posted the other issues we were having with the LL to show the underlying problems.
The point of this thread remains:
LL had the March check in his possession when he lied to me about not getting it. That set off a chain reaction of consequences we are now in. I have been advised by numerous people that I am not in the wrong in how I dealt with the situation and I am clear. I have tried to work with the LL through the issues but he choose to decline my proposals.
What we have now is a detective investigating on the LL's behalf to find out who deposited the monies. After the investigation completes the LL will have the option of prosecuting the person who falsly deposited the check. This situation is clearly now on the shoulders of the LL and I am not required to do anything further.
How my family chooses to go from here is NOT the basis of this thread and all comments regarding that should be refrained upon. If you want to troll me or this thread any further I will report you.
I have updated this thread on a daily basis and as the information has been presented. Thanks
Update 4/5
Got a phone call from the LL's wife today. Unfortunately I wasn't able to answer the call. Without talking to her I can only speculate as to what she wanted from me.
LL had someone come out and clean the water from the pool cover. I'm not sure if they tightened the cover since I had to leave for work before they finished.
I replied to the LL's last email stating that I received his latest message and someone would get back to him shortly.
You need to keep the correspondence written and recorded. Talking on the phone is always going to be a bad move.
I agree that is why I try not to talk on the phone. I like everything to be recorded so that it can be presented as evidence (if needed).

Just a warning: the LL can come up with any number of "damages" caused by you in order to keep your security deposit. Happens all the time.
w/ respect to the security deposit;
You should do a walk through with the LL after you have all your stuff out.
Then get an itemized list of issues.
If you agree with an issue; then either you repair it or agree for the LL to repair it.
If you disagree; then handle it as you desire.
Either way; have the list signed and you address the issues that you agreed on. As to costs; what is considered reasonable and proper; recommend that at least 3 bids be documented.
Any updates?
Nope, nothing new in terms of the rent check. The LL and myself have spoken and we are trying to work something out between ourselves.

Yard could be considered to be treated differently than inside the house.
As long as they did not attempt to disturb you; you may be making a mountain out of a garbage hill.
I don't really care if they wanted to come. Just don't tell me you aren't coming and then just show up.
Why didn't you go out there and confront him?
Yep. and lead into it with an 'i thought you said'....
make him have to explain himself.
