I know it's a long while but then.

Why dun you arrange to view his room at that time or something.

Just say that since he has not paid for the deposit, then better to view the room first or something. i am sure he will not mind.

That's the thing. Why you cannot make things easier for others. I really do not know.

But then most landlords are really like you. After all, it's their opportunity to be the boss.

People like you need psychiatric evaluation. Seriously.

Actually I do.
The issue is that the tennant requested for an early release(Not so early actually considering that it's just 1 month before the contract expire) and requested to use the deposit to offset the rental.

But then, instead of trying to settle things amicably by viewing the property and maybe letting the tennant off through good will, the owner has the intention of making the tennant suffer.

What the landlord should do is settle things amicably. Just request viewing the property and if it's well kept then maybe let the tennant go out of good will.

The other issue is probably the fact that it's not easy to find a replacement within a short period of time. Actually, I am sure that's not a major issue as the contract is going to expire soon anyway and the tennant has actually informed the landlord.

But then there is no denying that this landlord is being an asshole like what most landlords are.

Well. Sometimes it does pay to be good.

You dunno when something may happen to you.

But then I doubt you get it.

Problem is, this landlord is most likely a trouble maker like most out there.

Just because they hold people's deposit, they seem to think that they are suddenly untouchable.

There really should be a way whereby legally, the landlord is held accountable for wrongly not returning deposits to the tennants.

If he was a reasonable guy, he would not have written what he has written.

Most people do not read the contract expecting the land lord to be reasonable

Contract does not help much anyway. Unless you are willing to go through the trouble of using the legal route.

As mentioned, the landlord has the power since he holds your deposit and they abuse it 99% of the time.

Funny that it always never seem that the landlord is grateful for the tennant for giving them rent.

But then most landlord will use the "worst" case scenario to defend themselves. You know those kind of scenarios where tennants actually purposefully destroy their property.

Most tennant just want peace. They will not purposefully destroy the property. Of course landlord can make time to inspect the property once in a while.

But then most of them really are psychopaths.

And you really think you are going to fight the landlord in court if he decides not to return the deposit to you for some made up reason.

You sound pretty sick really.

Must be one of those psychopath failures who thinks that he can bully someone just because someone is renting from him.

Wow. You should get a noble prize because of your 2 likes right?

Yeah yeah.

Landlords are generous.

I must be living in another planet.

See, you contradict yourself as per usual.

You and mini orchid must be the same person.

Guess it proves how mean land lords generally are.

Trick qtn.
Actually all 5 return my deposit. But not everything.

But then there is always a fear that they will not return the deposit.

After all, they know that the process of going to court will be a hassle most of the time.

They always find something to deduct from.

As I said not everything.

They always find an excuse to deduct something from me.

It's always a nerve wrecking experience because normally they pay me after I give them the keys and the thing is, they can always run away after that.

Anyway. I always try to political with Landlords because I know they can always choose not to pay me back my rental over some reason.

Also, the truth is, most landlords can actually be threatening to the tenants and the tenants has no choice but to say yes even if it's not fair because the deposit is with them. You see, that's the thing. Land lord knows that most tenants will not destroy the property to get back at them because tenants in general still want their deposit back unless those tenants are nuts in their head. It makes no sense for the tenant to destroy the property to get back at the landlord. And they know that they can withhold their deposit if say the tenant does not kow tow to the landlord. Most landlord knows that tenants normally return the property in almost perfect condition but yet the landlord always finds ways and means to deduct the deposit. So the tenant must always be nice to the landlord so that the landlord can be merciful and return most of the deposit to the tenant.

It's a well known fact.

Continue being sick man.

See. You prove my point.

It's ok for the landlord to just randomly deduct from the deposit just because he's not happy.

Anyway. Most of you probably know you are rascals in heart. But it's ok.

See. QED.
