Thanks everyone. I am just going to let it go. Karma will get him.

We did do this. Move-in had a walk through (and was when I took my photos) and when we moved out we did the walk-through and the only thing he noted was the carpet having stains (that I noted upon the move-in walk-throug).

That is why I am/was so aggrivated about it. And had he said "I am going to charge you xyz for a cleaning fee" I wouldn't have wasted my time cleaning. Instead his wife said the place looked fine (when she came over 3 weeks prior) but he said that his wife had no authority in this matter and he would not honor anything she said to me (told ya he hated women). I feel sorry for her.

It's all in karma's hands now.

Nothing in writing though?

IMO, the whole situation's a little sad. Common sense rarely dictates when "money" is at stake. :( BTD lived there for a total of - what 3 and a half months - at least 8 months short of the 12 month lease she signed, right?


At any rate, I have no idea and am no help in terms of property/landlord/renter laws in Orange County. In my limited experience with it, it always seems like the person trying to use common sense (and IMO, decency) gets screwed - no matter what side they're on - renter or landlord.

No lease. That would have changed everything. 4 months, after he said he had no intentions of selling and the last person moved because he mentioned he was thinking of selling. He orignaly wanted me to stay while he listed the place and offered to lower my rent for my inconvienance. Then, 2 days after the realitor and his wife came by for their walk-through he called me and told me he wanted me out in 30 days.

Only thing in writing is him telling me he had no intention of honoring his wife's word and that "maybe when you [i] grew up I would understand that agreements are between the two people that make them and only children get their parents involved". He also screamed at me on the phone several times when I was trying to find out stuff.

My parents were a huge help in this entire situation and had contacted him on my behalf to let him know I would be out on x date and what he would like me to do so I could get my deposit back. I asked them to call him since I was going crazy with work and school.

The guy is psycho. It is for the best that I no longer live there, and Karma will totally get him in the end. I just hate letting him have the last word.

I guess he's just compensating for being suck a little wannabe man.

Tell him to keep the money and apply it to the penis enlarging procedure he is so obviously in need of.

I must spread mojo around.

You may want to rent from an apartment complex next time, instead of "a guy".
