actually i have a good case for it. because about the same time all the other tenants moved out because of these 2 bands that practised next door. I was the one that told him about the problem that was costing him money. he had no clue...all the other tenants had gotten out and said nothing. i actually stuck it out to finish the lease...and got the shaft for it. he charged me for alot of other ridiculous things totalling aprox 1500$. it's pretty clear by the inventory he made 1250$ up off the top of his head.
carpet cleaning 250$ misc. cleaning 250$ blinds 250$ windows 250$ linoleum 250$
he even got cute with the acounting making some charges 248$, 243$, 260$, 236$, 245$ and split up all the cleaning so i wouldn't notice it all totaled 245$
