    “This carpet that was stained when you moved in wasn’t stained before you moved in so I’m keeping your $300 deposit”

      Nah, he’s right. You have a phone. It has a camera. Video the place before you move your shit in, preferably with their manager in the video even (when they show you the unit, or start the video when they hand you keys). When they claim that shit on move out show them the footage. If they bullshit you still. Small claims is like 30-50$ in most places.

      This is an easy premise. I still have the move-in and move-out pictures from previous apartments that I lived in from over a decade ago.

        “Our inspector (me) found deep damage (the carpet is already ten years old and I claimed the exact same thing for the last tenant)”

        Be on your way, parasite.

            Interesting and definitely intelligent assumption based on the text, person who doesn’t know carpet is considered completely depreciated after five years and claiming it as damage is fraud.

              Oh yeah I’m definitely not a carpet expert.

              I meant with a temperament like yours, I can’t imagine why anyone would do you wrong.

              ahem… THE ABOVE SENTENCE IS SARCASM

              Since I you missed it last time I figured you might need a bigger sign.
