'I countersued': Vindictive landlord tries to charge tenant over their deposit, loses big

If there's one thing that makes landlords drool, it's finding a way to keep your deposit—not that they'll actually use that money to fix anything before the next tenant moves in… Hell, the next tenant will be lucky if even their move-in cleaning fee actually gets used to clean the place up before they arrive. (It wouldn't be the first time a cleaning fee ended up in a landlord's pocket.)

When things get ugly in a landlord-tenant relationship, it's always going to be the deposit that gets held over the tenant's head. In this story, it was that and more, with the landlord trying to fabricate charges after their relationship went south. The tenant managed to get the upper hand, citing other violations that the landlord had committed, getting their deposit back… and more.
