'I countersued': Tenant turns to revenge after failing to wrest his deposit back from a terrible landlord

Trying to wrest your deposit back from a surly landlord is like trying to convince a dog to give you a share of his dinner… As in, it's not going to happen without a fight. It's not like your landlord is going to growl and potentially bite you… but it's also not entirely out of the question. Regardless, good luck getting much from either; your landlord considered that "deposit" to be his as soon as it hit his bank account. Never mind the fact that the place was in a state and no cleaning was done before you moved in… or the fact that he proceeded to do zero maintenance during the duration of your tenancy.

All this tenant wanted was to get his deposit back from his terrible landlord, who had originally been a longtime friend of the family. They say never to mix personal relationships and business, and for good reason… Soon, the arrangement went completely sideways due to the landlord being generally unhinged and unrealistic about the entire thing. After moving out of a spotless apartment only to be charged additional fees in addition to his initial deposit, it was time for the gloves to come off.
