My advice is walk away, take the hit, save yourself the ongoing agita. It's just not worth the mental anguish. Do not, under any circumstances, utter the words: "But it's a matter of principle!"Yeah, this is such a frustrating situation. What I want to do is send her a list of the repairs she needs to make but doesn't think she has to because the lease says we're responsible for "minor repairs" (once again, "duties of the landlord cannot be waived"). This is not trivial/petty ****, so if she refuses to make them, I call a housing inspector. I know this will trigger a fight that probably ends with me losing my security deposit, though. (I may be able to fight that in small claims court, but is it worth it?)
I know I'm right, but I don't know if it's worth the fight. It's annoying as hell how much horrible landlords can get away with just because it's not worth the effort fighting.
I just want to get out of here but I don't want to move twice, and I'm apprehensive about the housing market right now.
