Vent: My landlord in Logan Square said my security deposit was gone because of 'normal wear and tear'...

He pointed at a tiny scuff on the baseboard from a chair and claimed it was damage. I had photos from move-in day showing it was already there. Has anyone else had to fight for their deposit back in Chicago and won?

Did you show him the move-in photos?

Ever feel like landlords just make stuff up? I'd be so bad at that, I'd probably try to charge for dust. Show him your photos and maybe do what @jennifer_jones17's friend did.
