How can I recover damage costs that exceed the deposit?
If repair costs exceed the security deposit but are less than the $500 Protection Package deductible, Neighbors Trailer may attempt to recover the remaining balance from the renter on your behalf.
Please note: Recovery of additional funds is not guaranteed.
Important: Include This in Your Deposit Deduction Request
When submitting your Deposit Deduction Request, you must clearly state that you are requesting recovery of additional damage costs beyond the deposit amount.
Your request should include:
- A detailed description of the damage that applies specifically to the rental associated with the request being submitted.
- Clear before-and-after photos
- A repair estimate or invoice
- Clear notes requesting recovery of the remaining balance beyond the deposit
Incomplete or unclear reimbursement requests may delay review or impact recovery efforts.
When to File a Request
You should file a request if:
- The trailer is returned with new damage
- Equipment or accessories are missing
- There are unpaid rental fees
- There are other documented losses related to the rental
Deposit Deduction Requests can only be submitted at the time you end the rental.
