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.

Last couple places I rented as an adult, I got my deposit back from one, one I moved in when they were doing a special $200 deposit deal and don't think I got that one back. And a lady I rented a house from I just paid the first and last months rent up front and so when the last month came to be paid, it was already paid.

The places I rented in college when I always had rowdy roommates, I didn't even try to get the deposits back. The places deserved to keep them
