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.

Pro tip: When our move-out day approached, we asked our landlord cleaners they used. We hired them to clean up, since they would clean to the LL’s specs. They could also provide tips on other things tennants often get dinged on too, so we could address.
Not everyone has cash to hire cleaners, but their rate was about what I usually lose on deposits.
