hey guys, Need some quick advice -
My landlord recently took back an apartment I had rented from him from December 08 til Apr 10.
It seems that he is trying to find excuses to keep as much of my security deposit as possible.
first it was cleaning costs and replacing his old TV that broke months ago. We agreed on a price when i handed over the keys.
About 30 minutes after I left he called me claiming that I irreparably damaged the toilet by cleaning it too hard(!?) I've asked a local contractor who said they can replace it for $1100. I offered to pay the landlord $1100 to settle but now he's claiming the replacement cost is $3k.
What recourse do I have? Do I have to pay the entire cost for him to get some fancy over priced toilet to replace the original (several years old) toilet?
Thanks in advance!
ps - after this is done i'm going to post up a big fat warning about this landlord and his shadiness/cheapness! :-P
