Brag/Whine combo
 

"(I live in pittsburgh and make to much $/hr bother going to court for this)"

Is this a brag or a brag/whine combo ?

So, get on the plane and forget about it, then.

she probably spent the deposit on crack and now is finding an excuse bc she cant pay it back... basically your screwed

Re: Brag/Whine combo
 

She should have payed for the hot tub to be fixed, it's tax deductible for her

Depending on what your lease says, you're likely not responsible for utilities increasing.

Also- maybe make her a reasonable offer pending you seeing copies of the bills (before and after)?

No court will side with the landlord if she cannot provide accurate records that detail the costs and reasons associated with why she is keeping your deposit. You are entitled to a detailed breakdown of the charges. Start off by asking for a breakdown of the charges being applied to your deposit and don't even hint at the possibility of a lawsuit.

Small claims cases are inexpensive to file and don't require an attorney. You just walk into the courthouse, file some paperwork and pay a fee. Then let the judge decide.

If you do go to court, show up prepared (with any and all supporting evidence, witnesses etc) and don't come off like a fool.

Don't listen to people advising that you trash the place, sell property that isn't yours or do other things that could land you in financial or legal trouble. It isn't worth screwing up the other aspects of your life over a thousand dolalrs.

Courts are usually in favor of the tenant because "Landlords are money grubbing tyrants!" Sounds like you have a good case of Landlord abuse here, take her to court. Sometimes a well worded letter will get the job done. If you outline the details to her in a letter, then you'll have some serious evidence when you take her to court.

Also, check your state law as was stated above.

That is all.

break into her apartment when she's on vacation
build a meth lab in her apartment
call the police

Re: Brag/Whine combo
 

i dint pay for the hot tub repairs

i hadnt thought the utility thing through but just said if it was reasonable i'd cover so she'd go cause it was peak hours online, etc.

She lives on the estate so she knew saw my guests.

I moved out and didnt fight as she said she would be shipping $800 which is the right amount

yeah pittsburgh and hourly was definite brag/beat.

variance: i been travelling for over a year though

im in vegas now playign live like a sucker, but its fun n relaxing.

Re: Brag/Whine combo
 

This should be easily solved by logic.

Have her itemize exactly what is being charged WITH PROOF OF DAMAGES/EXPENSES IE receipts, detailed explanations. If there is a huge dispute, take her to small claims court. She's definitely trying to screw you if you are writing this objectively.

P.S. read your lease as well.
