Hey, I just got screwed by my rental agency. How 'bout you? My wife & I moved into a semi-den of filth & turned it into a liveable habitat...when we moved out the inspectors came in and did a "white glove" treatment. Unreasonable...the agent found the Venetian blinds DIRTY -which I'd installed, fresh from the package not 2hrs. before! :headbang:

As a general rule, when moving out of any apartment, kiss your security deposit goodbye. :(

That's absolutely unbelievable....I guess the lesson learned here is not to install venetian blinds right before you move out. Sorry to hear about it. :(

Is this a gimmick...are rental deposits non-refundable anymore? RRRRRrrr! O.K., I'd like to open this forum to include the "worst slum" I've ever lived. For myself, I once worked as a salmon fisherman in Alaska. My employers put me up in the net shed...I lived for 2 1/2 months in a 6x15x5 that smelled like old salmon & wet dog. :eek:

the corollary of that rule is to do anything you can to screw the landlord over.

you never get your security deposit back, therefore you never pay your last months rent, unless it was first, last and security then you try to get a month behind before you fail to pay your last months rent.

I guess I just get agro- we've improved every place & scrubbed it all down...then get charged? Maybe, it has become the better idea to just "walk away"? Anyhow, I've just thought of a guy that lived down the hall. He mounted every cockroach that he killed onto a piece of paper...dated, described and mounted upon his wall as a 'trophy'. :eek:

You should cut the heads off of any rats you find and thumb tack them to the wall just outside your door, and then use the blood to draw pentragrams on the wall, and write things like '666' and 'SATAN IS MY LORD!' on the wall.
Thatll teach the bastard. ;)
