Shouldn’t be a issue since landlords never lie to keep deposits right?

    I had to sue for my security deposit once. It’s very common in the US for landlords to fraudulently keep some or all of the security deposit.

      How annoying was that? My last landlord claimed some pretty indefensible justifications for keeping our deposit (among other things, $300 to “sweep and vacuum the attic”) but I’m not convinced that I’ll actually wind up ahead if I’m missing work to go to court.
