I'd helped work on rentals a lot over the years. The landlord kept their deposit, saying they hadn't cleaned under or behind the stove. Said it was a clause...I'm guessing he used it to keep the deposit every time. I called him on their...we had words. He said he was recording me and other shit. I explained that he would pay them. Somehow, over the next few months...sand kept winding up in his home hot tub and other oddball maintenance issues likely turned up. Weird. In college, i lived in a house with a roomate. We worked on the house, going as far as installing a shower where a clawfoot tub had been, painted the interior and other improvements(agreed upon by the landlord). There were hippies upstairs that were using my phoneline(not separated I guess) and other problems that cost me money. My dad had surgery and i was out of town and my rent was a couple of days late....and she was a B about it. FFW, we buy a place and move out with notice...clean etc. She says she's not returning our deposit. Basically tried to bully me as a dumb college kid, except my family had rental experience. I threw down about it and demanded my money and she started telling a sob story about her husband being arrested and needing the money for attorneys or bail or something....and basically said her sons would kick my ass. Can't recall the details but I basically told her to have them bring my f-g money when they came over, and reminded her that 2 days late rent due to my dad's surgery wasn't a concern to her...I didn't give a shit about her family problems. business is business. She drove to my new place and gave me my money. In short....If you're right and did the right thing and left the place in good order.....stand your ground and fight for your money on principal. Call them, write them...document each contact.....and go file a small claim case. |

I sent a certified letter demanding it or detailing how I planned to take legal action if I didn't. They overnighted a check and tried to keep part of it for 'upgrades' I made up a fake lawyer letterhead and demanded the rest or they were going to face severe financial damages. They sent the rest. ****ers weren't even smart enough to google the name and firm ![]() |

The issue was resolved by going in there and letting them know I knew what the law says and pointing out they did not meet the deadline. Seriously, just try talking to them. If it worked for me when I was 21 it can work for you. |

I used to only charge a $200-$300 deposit on a $700 rental. People ALWAYS left a ****ing mess because they didn't care about $200. Then I started charging deposit same as rent and people seem to care more.
That being said, if they leave the place clean and ready to rent I return their full deposit and do so right away. Always within 7 days. I've always treated people the way I want to be treated. |

It's the principle!
Eh, he just wants that sweet double deposit refund now. I say go for it, but don't spend over $1100 to do it. Otherwise, MAKE A DAMNED PHONE CALL. |

Hiring a lawyer for a $150 rat hole deposit? Change your pad.

I feel like the principal is worth it sometimes. I spent a couple grand fighting a bullshit $450 speeding ticket a couple of years ago. I won. Yeah, it cost money but it was the general principle. When you're wrong, take your medicine...when you're not, fight like hell. I'd probably call them a couple of times a day and see if my check had gone out yet. |
