    I’ve always got 100% back when I rented.

    I wasn’t a piece of shit though and didn’t break things.

      “This carpet that was stained when you moved in wasn’t stained before you moved in so I’m keeping your $300 deposit”

      Fuck outta here.

        You didn’t walk though and document before move-in?

        • “Our inspector (me) found deep damage (the carpet is already ten years old and I claimed the exact same thing for the last tenant)”

          Be on your way, parasite.

            Gee, I just can’t imagine why anyone would do that to you…

            • Interesting and definitely intelligent assumption based on the text, person who doesn’t know carpet is considered completely depreciated after five years and claiming it as damage is fraud.

                Oh yeah I’m definitely not a carpet expert.

                I meant with a temperament like yours, I can’t imagine why anyone would do you wrong.

                ahem… THE ABOVE SENTENCE IS SARCASM

                Since I you missed it last time I figured you might need a bigger sign.

      Yeah. I can’t think of a single place I rented that I didn’t get my deposit back on.

      Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.

      I only had one time where they even tried to keep the deposit (out of about 10 or so places, I was in the military, so I moved a bit). I talked to them in person for all of 5 minutes and they gave up and gave it back.

        Here let me help you. Landlords vary wildly in quality and decline quickly as you go down in price furthermore being ignorant of your rights or lacking in options due to money are both easy routes to getting fucked. Not understanding that people pretty regularly get fucked out of their deposits because you haven’t is like wondering why other people get raped when you have avoided it.

        Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.

        They installed the carpet with the seam down the middle of the living room at my place, then said it was my fault the seam started peeling

        Same place tried to charge me for 119 plastic window slats. When I asked my old neighbor (same unit type, 1 floor up) I counted 43 total

        I sent them proof of all of this along with the bill for my security deposit and another bit of maintenance I had in writing they’d fix and never did, they suddenly decided to stop hounding me for the bill but never paid. Wasn’t enough to bother in small claims on my end, sadly
