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.
I can promise you that the towns outside of military bases are almost always removeds. I’ve had bad landlords. I’ve had one apartment complex that wouldn’t fix an exterior wall hole (that was present when we moved in). I’ve just never found myself in a position where I didn’t document something on move-in, and that they tried to claim that I did while I was living there because I didn’t keep my house like a shit-sty.
I never made a claim that I never had a bad landlord. Just that I did my due diligence on move-in and move out and have never needed to give up my deposit. In my mind, you have to fuck the place up to lose it.
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.
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.
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.
Nah, he’s right. You have a phone. It has a camera. Video the place before you move your shit in, preferably with their manager in the video even (when they show you the unit, or start the video when they hand you keys). When they claim that shit on move out show them the footage. If they bullshit you still. Small claims is like 30-50$ in most places.
This is an easy premise. I still have the move-in and move-out pictures from previous apartments that I lived in from over a decade ago.
I’ve always got 100% back when I rented.
I wasn’t a piece of shit though and didn’t break things.

Maybe you just don’t rent in the kinds of places that have shitty landlords.

“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.
“He had a bad attitude so I ignored all his valid complaints and now the place is ruined and it’s his fault”
Bro stfu.
Jesus that’s a huge self-L.
