Since I'm leaving US at the end of my lease, I asked my landlord if I could have my deposit at the day of my departure and he agreed to pay me half in cash on my departure and the other half after they finish fixing all the damages. It sounded reasonable to me.

The problem now is that we made this agreement in person, and I have sent him a couple of emails asking for confirmations of our agreement and he is not replying at all. Makes me think he doesn't wanna leave a legal trail. Once I leave the country, it's gonna be tiresome to hire lawyers just to get a deposit so I bet he thinks if he bought enough time until my departure he can keep the whole deposit to himself.

What do I do guys??? Are the greedy landlord memes true?

Landlords are money hungry. I know. My mother is one. She owns 4 houses and renting 3 of them.

A subtle way of doing it would be?

Also, he can't legally pursue me for damages when I'm like three continents away right?

No, but if you're in a shithole he will just pay somebody to get you assassinated

>> No.19244447

If he won't reply just smack a hole in the drywall spaced about 4' apart. Sand and oil in the dispose-all, if you want to go above and beyond collect some mold and grow a nice big liquid culture and spray a thin layer on every wall to inoculate the place. If he wants the entire deposit then let him earn it.
I can understand missing a phone call but there is no reason anyone could miss an email, much less more than one. Obviously he's ignoring you with intent to fuck you over.
Ceiling fan motors are easy to burn up too.

If he doesnt pay, go slash his tires, burn his house down as revenge.

>> No.19244482

I agree with the other people. If you reach your last day and no signs of him paying you what he owes, destroy everything, leave the key somewhere for him and get out fast.

Step 1: pick up small dense thing
Step 2: while holding dense object in hand swing arm forcefully so the small dense object makes contact with the wall
Some things to be aware of: hitting your self with the object could result in harm to your body. Swinging the wrong arm or striking the wall with your body instead of the object could result in harm to your body and less damage to walls.
Step 1: turn on disposall
Step 2:pour sand and oi in sirk
Notes: make sure to pour in the same side of the sink that has the disposall unit
Step one:using your hand spin ceiling fan blades in the opposite direction in turns when powered on
Step 2:turn fan on
Step 3:when fan starts to reverse direction use hand to force blades in the opposite direction
Notes:if you wait until fan is spinning at maximum speed and then try to put your hands in the fans path it could result in pain.
Step 1: find mold
Step 2 put mold in liquid culture medium and allow to grow
Step 3:transfer liquid culture to spray bottle and spray in areas you desire mold growth.
Notes:ensure that the surface is suitable for mold growth, indoor walls work better than the inside of a bleach bottle or a sun exposed sidewalk. Accidental ingestion might taste bad.

It's not reasonable. Tell him you want to do a walkthrough and he can point out everything that "needs to be fixed" whatever the fuck that means. If he cant account for the damages in writing on that day then why the fuck is he a landlord. Most of the expense should be a basic cleanup of the property to make sure it's ready for the next tenant unless youre a god damn barn animal that broke shit for no good reason and never fixed it. Also look up your local tenant/renter laws I'm sure youre not the first retard with a problem getting your deposit back.

kek thank you anon. Where do I find mold though?

Also, isn't there a way to plug up the water flow by putting wet cement in the toilet or something like that?

>>19244697
He says he needed time to fix all the issues and can't know the total cost unless you go through them and flesh out the details. I asked him to give me an estimate on the last day, and give me half of that estimate in cash, and the rest over the internet when he's done fixin

>> No.19244893

Also can't I just make a homeless party on the last day and have them wreck the place for me kek how would I go about that?

Just don’t pay the last month of rent. You will be gone before the eviction is finalized.

Get a pound of ground beef and put it in the freezer. When you're leaving, take it out and hide it in the ductwork.
In about a week he'll be in for a surprise.

Assuming you live in a first world country then get a lawyer and threaten to sue. Most states hate landlords and withholding deposit will result in huge fines. Also he will pay for your lawyer fees. Maybe threaten to contact state attorney general or the city attorney responsible for landlord-tenant relations.
