Small claims court isn't that expensive. You likely do not need a lawyer, just a paper trail and proof of attempting to contact landlord to resolve the issue. Landlord loses he pays all court fees. Hopefully you took pictures once you removed all belongings and furniture.
OG noisy cricket has a few safety issues and should only be used by intelligent experienced mech users. The noisy cricket 2 was the real gem of that line.
Unfortunately I did not. I was in a rush to get everything out before the last day of my lease, and while I spent the entire day scrubbing and cleaning the apartment, there was no inspection afterward that I was notified of.
I don't think my paper trail is all that strong. I have the original lease agreement and I have call/text logs to prove I've attempted to try contacting him, but that's about it. I have pictures I took from when I first moved in, and that's it.
Find a college close by a call about a free consultation with legal students. Pretty all institutions that offer law degrees has these services.
I don't think you need to remove it, just add this isn't the safest option for inexperienced mech users and make clear this is not the nc2. Some still love and use their og nc but they are experienced.
It doesn't matter if he's super rich or that he owns multiple properties and buildings in two states. Some of the rich ripoff people all the time. In effect he stole your $650. Landlord/tenant cases are heard all the time in small claims courts across the USA.

I finally did get a call from my guy at the dealership. Turns out he's been off for two days and no one let me know when I called. Hopefully the car will be done Monday like he said and he can get the insurance claim filed properly.
I actually just got a text back from the guy, lol. Couldn't be bothered to respond 3-4 months after, but now he will? I'm still not all that optimistic. Again, a gut feeling tells me he's going to say "Well, we needed this much for carpet cleaning (there was no carpet), and general cleaning, etc, etc. Your deposit return is $0.17."
I did some digging... In Minnesota, "a landlord is allowed to charge a cleaning fee if the tenant agrees to it in the rental agreement or if the cleaning is required to return the unit to its initial condition past expected wear and tear."
)))
I only lived there for a month or two. The carpet still had the "wavey" look from the previous cleaning. There was no carpet in my room, but the closet had carpet. The only thing I ever put in there was my DJ gear, lol.((( Unless of course you were a serious party animal and trashed the carpet.
I always read everything in contracts. If I don't understand something or if something doesn't make sense I ask my attorney to look it over. You should read them for your own protection. Items in nearly all contracts can be negotiated. Things can be deleted and/or added as needed by either party.
