what should i do?

Here's the deal. I rented out a room in his condo when i opened an office far from where i lived. It was supposed to be temporary (4-5 months), ended up being about 9.
He has half a months rent and my security deposit which he's supposed to return.
I call him about and he tells me the bathroom and bedroom were not "clean to his standards" and that he was going to charge me a $75 cleaning fee. I scrubbed, and vacuumed everything. There's no way whatever i left would warrant even $20.

There was also some quarter inch scuff marks from my bed on his cheap ass wood laminate floors, which he wants me to pay for. He says the whole plaque(sp) has to be removed, meaning all the ones around it. That shit is like a dollar a square foot lol..and the marks are minor.


This guy is a fuckin homo, and just a pussy in general. He's trying to be all passive aggressive about it and nickel and dime me because he doesn't like me(anymore). Towards the end of occupancy, i almost put his head through the window but i didnt want to create additional tension.

i made it clear if he tries to jerk me, he will not like the outcome (legally of course).

what should i do? he has ZERO leverage..there was no lease stating about the condition etc and what standard it had to be. If a judge saw the pictures of the "damage" they'd probably laugh.

sue him that's about the easiest and quickest way to get it taken care of
 
lol @ not wanting to create additional tension so you refrained from putting his head through a window!!

also the biggest hassel and most expensive
 
Yeah... security deposits are nortoriously hard to collect on. Everything is at their discretion and very difficult to prove otherwise and certainly not financially worth pursuing.


Anyway... so what is the total mount of money he wants to keep - $75?


Move on... christ almighty.
 
Well if it were me, and I knew that I did not do anything wrong , and that this guy was ripping me off. I would hunt him down like the POS he is when its nice and dark outside, or find someone who wants some extra cash , and pay them(less fun). Thats just how I roll NUGGA!
