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

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

        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

        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.

          Let me help you.

          I’ve never once claimed I didn’t have shitty landlords. You seem to assume a lot of shit. It’s called “due diligence”. Take pictures when you move in. Submit the shit on the maintenance requests within a couple weeks of moving in. And don’t fuck the place up in the mean time. Take pictures when you leave. This isn’t a hard process and virtually everyone has a cellphone with a camera to do it with. Boom deposit kept.

          Comparing literal due diligence for moving into a rental to rape is fucking outright stupid. You should be ashamed of yourself.

            You figured people must all be doing damage to lose their deposit. Lots of people don’t understand what their rights are or what to do to protect them because the poor are habituated to the reality that they don’t have much in the way of rights.

              Some of this, I can kind of understand… However, you don’t have to be rich to understand that refundable deposits are meant to be refunded if you take care of the place.

              Those 10 or so places that I mentioned while in the military… I was enlisted. I made between 20-30k… With some money for housing allowance. I wasn’t rolling in dough.

                The rate of burglary is 271 per 100k per year in the US but nobody doubts it exists. If the rate of weasels ripping off deposits was 1 in 20 which is incredibly high and you sampled 10 instances the chance of getting zero is 0.95^10. That is to say the chance that someone would rent 10 times in such a market and not have someone try to rip you off is ~60%. Your sample size isn’t meaningful even if it were random.

      “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.
