Like a fool I paid my last month rent on my last place and expected my security back.
My scumbag LL has now sent me less than a 1/3 of the deposit.
I have a small claims action scheduled soon and want to contest some of his BS claims.
If anyone has any input on countering LL "receipts" please let me know.
He is claiming 2x what I had it estimated at to replace a broken pane in a window; he is withholding $200 to fix "nailholes" in walls in the apartment (this is not legal, correct); a broken fridge bracket - this is wear and tear! plus he never fixed the other bracket that was broken all year long; replace mailbox lock due to only 1 key returned -- HE ONLY EVER GAVE US ONE KEY TO BEGIN WITH; $150 to paint fire escape due to rust spots from paint cans?
He is basically just trying to keep as much as he thinks he can get away with. How can I fight him?
