Screwed again.
I have renters and I do all my own repairs if possible when the tenants inform me of an issue. I don't charge them unless it was damage they caused. Otherwise, it is just regular upkeep which is not the tenants responsiblity and i can't use their security deposit for that. It's not always fun being a rentor or the landlord. i've been in both place and I think you are getting screwed for sure. Go after what you can.
