I took my first landlord to court because they kept my deposit and didn’t give me an itemized list of deductions from it. They had three weeks to do so after I surrendered the property.
The god damn judge ruled in their favor because they said that the three weeks started when the original lease ended, not when I dropped off the keys to this office. This was almost 10 years ago and it still puts me in a bad mood.
Oh believe me. I came prepared with the state codes concerning renters rights and all that.
The judge asked me to explain why I think I deserve treble the amount of my deposit as damages. I had to reference the code number to this judge, and the assistant next to him had to tell him I was right.
Guess which part of the code I didn’t think I needed to print out, the part where it defines the time line of when the itemized list of deductions was due. 😤

That sounds like the stupidest possible interpretation of anything. That judge needs to find a new job

Was the end of the original lease later? Couldn’t you just sue again once those three weeks were up?
