Well not cleaning up like a normal human being did cost him his $412.50 security deposit, which was more than enough to clean a small apartment. I don't know why the landlord was suing for more. The moral of the story is don't rent from the plaintiff and don't rent to the defendant 😂😂

I used to own two rentals. In is absolutely allowable, at least in Oregon, for the landlord to charge a reasonable hourly rate if they clean up and/or repair damage left by a tenant. My last tenants left a terrible mess and damage. It took my husband and I a month to get the house back into the condition it was in when we rented it to them. We didn’t charge for our time but we could have.

often landlords will create an LLC for a cleaning company and put it in another family member's name so they can do the work themselves, and 'hire' themselves as an employee of the LLC to avoid what just happened.

I was thinking it was messed up she didn’t reward him. I mean a person’s time should be worth something. I agree with you though. He presented his cleaning as an invoice, but should have been honest. I think JJ wasn’t too interested in listening to the Plaintiff after he just gave half the deposit to the defendant’s ex without looking over the apartment before she left.

So I go looking in Craigslist for rentals and I was gobsmacked, $400 for a very cute well maintained above the landlords garage, apartment. 2 bedrooms too! (I had a nice 1bdrm in NJ for $950.) It was so beautiful up there, so chill, every morning at like 4am, the Amish horse and buggy would go clopping down the road. Every night same thing. Ahhh totally enjoyed my year that I spent there. And I loved how cheap everything was. That was back in 2010. I didn't mind living in an apartment in my early 20s.

Then he would have gotten a judgment for every penny.

[@matthewruby3014]

I work in Property Management for many years and every place I worked for does the same thing with security deposit. It stays with the person who remains.
