We’ve all been there. (Or at least I have.)
You’re getting ready to vacate a property you’ve rented, only to be told by the landlord that you won’t be getting your security deposit back.
This happened to me the first time I ever rented a place in the late 90s. I was shocked, but more than anything, I was angry at the injustice because I knew that what the landlord claimed was not true. It was her word against mine and my roommate’s. Still, we took her to small claims court, not so much over the $800 she was trying to keep but more to prove her wrong. In
