Security deposits should be held by the municipality. Should the landlord wish to claim it, they can prove their case in court.

Fuck the status quo forever. Unforgivable.

    In the US, landlords can basically do whatever they want, and the legal system is designed to keep peasants out.
    It’s called Feudalism Freedom.

      There are laws and rules, but nearly no one has the time/money/energy to go after getting them enforced since it all ends up costing more money to pursue.

        My previous landlord owes me $3,200. I still have a few months before it’s too late for me to take them to small claims court, but I’m chronically ill and simply don’t have the energy. Which the landlord knew.

        I left the house cleaner than it was when I moved in.
