It's rare to see a tenant win one over his landlord. All matters of negotiations and disputes may feel stacked against the tenant, but every so often, justice decides to show up and be useful.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/LandlordLove subreddit by u/LS-CRX, who shared the story of how he broke his lease and was almost given just one-third of his security deposit despite a prior agreement. His landlord thought he could get away with claiming that the conditions of the apartment were less than stellar, when of course, the only conditions that were bleak were a result of leaks and damage that the landlord was notified about and refused to fix for months.
While most tenants give up in these situations, this guy knew he had more compelling evidence than his landlord did. Keep scrolling below to see what happened after he sued and what his landlord's reaction was when he tried and failed to use the apartment pet fee against the tenant.
