That's when you redline the lease. These things aren't the end-all-be-all, people not knowing their rights is how these companies rake in extra money.

I lived in a fairly nice apartment complex and had this convo with the front office staff, only to find out the management company was verbally abusive to them and forced them to do specific things or else they would not receive their contractually obligated bonuses

I don't make the deposit amounts. Most shitty places require first month's rent. When they know you won't frick it up you don't have to pay a deposit

FIFY. Also, if you live there then you signed and agreed to it.

They arbitrarily upped my rent

They can't up rent arbitrarily. You either agreed to the terms, or like a previous poster stated, you didn't give any notice before your lease ended and it rolled over into a month to month (usually market rate + month to month fees).

There's should be something in the lease stating how long they have to take care of maintenance issues and if they aren't taken care of then you can put something in writing stating that it's been neglected. If it's still neglected after putting it in writing then they are violating their responsibilities of the lease and you can pursue legal action.

Don't do that. Be an adult about it and do it the right way. You may be upset about the terms but these types of situations hardly ever work out for the lessee. It could screw up your credit and rental history tremendously.

This sounds like a lovely place. Is it off Gardere between 30 and Burbank?

Yes.

There are certain steps that need to be followed. I’d say the lease specifically states that rent can’t be witheld because of maintenance issues. If you don’t follow the correct steps and just decide not to pay you can and will be evicted. My last justice of the peace was great and would explain to people step by step exactly how to handle the situation if it ever happens again, then grant the eviction.

I’d much rather give a deposit back. It’s a whole lot less work. I’m Pretty lenient on move outs unless they’ve given me a reason to be extra picky.

used to be this way, now I'm becoming a hard arse because of lousy tenants, don't understand the hotel guest mindset of renters that think everything is the responsibility of the landlord, although I do have a property manager I sometimes have to get involved, but I've been called for tripped circuit breakers, lightbulbs out, stopped up toilet(caused by dumbass tenant,) and a lot more, just had an old bag move out that completely trashed the place, broke every term on the lease, had to take the place off the market for a month for $6k worth of repairs and a facelift...and the bitch is whining about her deposit, fuhgeddabowdit bitch!
