You're dead on....

But what's sad is when I write a check for a security deposit on an apartment or rental house, I just chalk it up to that money being gone.

It's just how it normally works. If I receive a check when I move out from the land lord, I just chalk it up as free money I wasn't expecting... Sad but that's just how I look at it.

It's good to have a lawyer friend who will help you out for free. A lot of the time it'll cost the landlord more in legal fees and court costs than it would for them to just give you your deposit back.

Most people don't fight it, so most landlords feel entitled to it and have no intention of giving it back no matter how well you clean the house and the condition it's in when you vacate.
