Couple sues landlord for $1800 after complying with parking rules and only getting half their security deposit back: 'Next time you tell someone to "park wherever you want," you'd better mean it'

Who doesn't love a story when a tenant sues a landlord over some classic landlord nonsense and wins? We're so used to being constantly manipulated and played by landlords here at FAIL Blog, so when we do come across a story where the aggrieved actually comes out on top in the end, we have to celebrate those moments.

Here, we have a couple that was specifically told by their landlord they could park their car anywhere in a statement well-documented via email. So when they received less than half of their security deposit back at the end of their lease, the couple had some questions. Evidently, the landlord thought they could get away with using that money to renovate the communal lawn by falsely claiming that the couple's parked car was the reason it needed to be remodeled. Well, the couple began to gather their receipts, and their overly confident landlord would soon see his day in small claims court.
