  • In ages long past I was a 20year old with roommates. One of those roommates was 10 years my senior.
  • He was 30 somethin', and had *very* wealthy parents. How wealthy? Well, his dad drives an original Shelby Cobra.
  • He, a buddy of mine from high school, and I were splitting rent to live in a 3br 2.5ba house.

  • We lived there rather than a couple of shabby awful apartments. Now, when we were moving in together, the first hurdle we had to manage was First month's rent plus security deposit.
  • Also the same prices as first month's rent. Rent was 1400, security deposit was 1400. I had dutifully saved up the appropriate amount of money to cover my portion of rent and security deposit.

  • The older entitled roommate, **M**, and my high school buddy **J**... well, they had rent? But no security deposit.
  • That's when **M** dutifully went home and begged his dad to cover his and **J**'s portions. Which he did.

  • Well, a year or two later, things are falling apart due to **M**'s entitlement, and we decide to go our separate ways.
  • **M** (and **J**) basically off once it's determined we're moving out, leaving me and my girlfriend (now fiancée) to clean the whole house.
  • We cleaned, and cleaned, and ***cleaned***. It was a herculean task, but we managed to get some security deposit back!

  • *$900* of our original $1400. The check got sent to me, because I didn't drop off the face of the earth after moving out like the other two did.
  • I sat on it for a day before **M**'s dad found out. Suddenly, I was receiving texts to the effect of **M**'s dad: Heard u got security deposit back.
  • When will you be dropping it off? Me: Dropping it off? Oh, I guess you did cover some of the security deposit.

  • I'll get you 2/3 of the returned amount. **M**'s dad: I paid $900 of the security deposit, I expect to get at least $900 back.
  • Me: Well, you covered 2/3 of the security deposit. I covered my own portion, and I cleaned the house to even get any back.
  • So you'll be getting $600. **M**'s dad: Hmm, no, I think I'll talk to a lawer about this.

  • **M**'s dad texted me semi-regularly for another week, typos and all, alluding to the fact that he'd get a *lawyer* to sue me.
  • I responded similarly above. He eventually went as far as to draft some fake demand from a "lawyer" and sent it to my email.
  • Promising me retribution for not paying him all the returned money. I laughed and sent it back with the spelling errors highlighted.

  • Informing him that he needs to hire a lawyer that passed english. Eventually I got the check cashed at the bank and against advice of friends.
  • I did give him back 2/3 of the money that was returned. In hindsight, I should've kept it, since it was under my name.
  • But I didn't want to sink to his level.
