Love it, a neighbor who lived above me played rap music all night long just high enough for us to hear it in the bedroom. Drove me nuts but what took the Turkey prize was when he attacked his water bed with something sharp and the water drained down the walls into the electrical boxes and caused the ceiling to begin to bulge out over my bed.
We reported it right away but no one came to look at the damage in our apartment even after repeated calls. The the upstairs renter had to pay $2,000 for the damage caused to his apartment . Our lease was up so we moved 6 states over after hiring a company to come in, clean the carpets that were at least 15 years old, and cleaned all bathrooms, kitchen appliances and tile floors.
We received a notice a few months later that our $1,000 deposit could not be returned do to the water damage in our ceiling, replace the damaged old carpets and repaint the walls where the water from above had damaged them.
A word to renters today, get a video camera and tape everything when you first move in to when you leave. This will help if you are staying 50 miles from the old apartment. If you are military or civilians and move away from that area ---forget the security deposit, the ex-landlords will find something to get you on. When one puts down a security deposit expect to eat it, I have received these deposits back from a few landlords but that was a big surprise to me.
And yes I have been on the other side of the coin renting my home out and never again.
