      Or they should have videoed the condition better. They filmed from far away. If there were holes in the walls, or spills staining walls and floors, bathroom cabinets, etc, they did a bad job filming it.

      I've left a studio flat cleaner than that, like legitimately clean, and they still kept my deposit claiming it wasn't clean because of some hard water build up around the sink faucet or some such nonsense. People are insane. I didn't have the time to sue them.

      I don't think the charge was far-fetched though. Especially if they hired someone to clean it. A company is not going to charge $20 to clean it. It would definitely be over $100. The cheaper option would have been for them to clean it themselves. It wasn't that bad that they couldn't do it.

    The defendant's "Oh, ha-ha-ha, silly me!" act when shown the insufficient address he used, like this was the first moment he realized that he didn't include the house number. He fully intended to mail it in such a way that it would be returned, and did not expect anyone to go to this much trouble over a small amount on principle.

    That's a note, READ YOUR LEASE and look for red flags like ridiculous late fees and whatnot to see what your landlord will be like. I had a landlord and I didn't get good vibes from her but we were desperate. She waited until all of our stuff is moved in to present an incredibly one sided contract that said she could kick us out whenever she wanted (ie if she found someone willing to pay more) but we had to stay a year. I signed it because I felt trapped but after three months I saved up enough money to get the hell out of there. She sued, I didn't show up, but I heard she was laughed out of court

    If a check was returned to them, all they have to do is rip it up. Charging the Plaintiff a "stop payment fee"($30) is unnecessary. PLUS, the Defendant is the one who wrote the wrong address on the envelope to begin with. The Defendants are the reason Landlords have a bad reputation.
