Screwed again.

Unfortunately bad landlords get good tenants and good landlords get bad tenants I guess. I was a landlord for years, I got out of it completely because I figured sooner or later I would snap and someone would get hurt. We could only charge a half months rent for a security deposit, one suite I had rented for $500 a month they had a party and caused $12,000 damage, real damage like broken windows, not cosmetic where you just need to paint the place. You are getting jerked around by the sounds of it, if something broke I fixed it and never charged for general wear and tear. If you can buy a house go for it, it comes with its own hassles but at least they're yours. :thumbup: Good luck in court, I expect it will be worth the hassle.
