I got screwed by a landlord keeping my entire deposit. There was a little damage, but when I got the receipt back for what he used the money for, it said he painted the entire apartment. There is a process, I believe they call it 'drawing up papers'. I was on the fence about whether to do it to this guy or not. The deposit was only 600US and I was owed about 400 if I could guess, so the lawyer money + time was certainly -EV. Yet, being a poker player with about 10 hours of waking free time a day, I was really close to doing it, just to screw with this guy's life. Lucky for him, I moved to Brasil for a little bit.

I can't help you on explaining what exactly the process entails. But instead of making some snide remark about how big of an Argentine ex-pat noob you are, I suggest you try and make this landlord's life a little bit more complicated. That is if you have the money/time/spiteful revenge in you.
