So I moved out of my place in Winnipeg Manitoba on November 30th. We lived there for 17 months, and would have left sooner, if not for the fact that I knew I was moving (to another city) in a short period of time, and didn't want to sign another 1 year lease. The place was a dump (primitive, awful kitchen, roaches, mold, absolutely zero soundproofing between the suites upstairs and down, cramped, and a complete and total fire hazard, horrible neighbors). When we moved in it was reasonably clean, but the stove was dirty, there was dirt caked onto the stairway, plenty of dust, dirty floors and corners, garbage in the yard, stuff like that. The place is like an 80-100 year old wood frame house improperly converted into a duplex, and looks like it.

During our time there, we improved the yard, the kitchen, and the bathroom with new fixtures. We left the curtains we bought for the place behind. We had a perfect track record for paying rent and utilities on time. We also left behind a TON of nice stuff for their new tenants as a gesture because we knew they were low income- nice lamps and mirrors, appliances, tons of barely used cleaning supplies and brand new toiletries, with the landlord's and new tenant's permission, along with all the improvements to the home. What were seemingly decent people like ourselves doing living in a slum you ask? We had bad credit and were in a desperate situation. We were literally model tenants.

So fast forward to the day we move out. We clean pretty much everything top to bottom and get everything not wanted by the new tenants to the dump or thrift store. We do the walk through with landlords, noting minor (MINOR) damage and cleanliness issues. We signed the inspection report, noting the dirty oven (the way I found it) and some paint on the concrete floor downstairs I'd damaged. Returned the keys and they said they'd send the inspection report and the remainder of our deposit within the week.

Well, they failed to communicate with me by the 7th, and told me they were on vacation til the 17th. They only have til the 14th to get my DD back to me. I wait until today and I demand my money and the report back. They're incommunicado and wordlessly only send me a list of charges, adding up to the ENTIRETY of my damage deposit. Tf is that shit?!

I basically was robbed here. Their charges are BULLSHIT! $75 to clean the oven?! They are absolutely not allowed to charge for paint or puttying picture frame holes. The mark in the closet they are talking about was already there when I moved in!!! Egregious!! The hardwood is also as old as the house, splintery, dinged and scraped to shit, they seemingly have no intention of fixing it. I have pictures of the place but not like up close images of what the place looked like when we moved in or the full extent of the wear and tear on the home, which was significant. Our inspection report said almost everything was the same, but they're withholding it.

They were so fake nice too. I have not felt violently angry like this in years. I want to cave their fucking skulls in. Complete psychopaths. ALAB
