Never mistake what is right with what they can get away with.

Learned a long time ago that no matter how great the place was taken care of, if the deposit ever came back it was a bonus.

That attitude makes the sting of any unjust deposit withheld less painful.

In these days of super cameras in most cellphones, you gain a lot of renter's advantage taking videos and pictures before you move in.  Been sending them right away to the landlord, both to document the situation and basically to put them on quiet notice to play fair.

The closer you rent to a University the landlords split into two types - some really fair minded people and the rest varying levels of shits.

Around universities watch out for the shitty management companies - people will tell you who they are.  Unless you like fighting with expensive attorneys over small sums, they set out to abuse you like as if you were some sort of vassal in teh dark ages.
