My landlord took me to court after I turned him into the BBB for not refunding my security deposit back. I lived in a place of his for 1 year. After my lease was up I moved out, but on the day I was moving out (which was the first day of the month) he immediately said, "you didn't give me a 30 day notice". I told him not to play that card and to give me my deposit back (which was $800). Well after a week had past he called me up and told me he wasn't giving my security deposit back, that if I wanted to I could take him to court, and that he would ask for an additional $800 for not giving a 30 day notice. I then turned him into the BBB and they filed a complaint against him. He got so mad he actually filed a court case against me for an additional $800. When we went to court, I put all of the landlord/ tennant acts against him and his lease agreement. He was speechless. The court later decided on the case and awarded me $1600. $800 for my deposit and $800 for neglegently holding it back for so long. Yes I am a happy camper, but he still hasn't paid me. It's going on 4 months now and I will soon have to go to the courts to file charges against him for not oberying court orders.
Bottom line, owners and corps can both be a struggle, or can both be a good experience.
