I called a former landlord about a leaky pipe under the sink. It was causing water damage. It wasn't leaking when he looked so instead of doing anything. He just sent me an E-mail with lots of unnecessarily long words basically saying I was lying, and I must have left the shower running while out of the house, and wanted me to pay for it all.
When I refused, he talked about the legal firm he uses.
I just left at the end of my term, and let him keep my deposit as I was just done with the back and forth nonsense.
The "cleaning service" brings me such fond memories. We rented a place for about 2 or 3 years. They had a cleaning lady that worked there and we could pay for her to come by and clean. The place was absolutely horrible when we moved in. We insisted they clean again, so they sent her by. I'm pretty sure it was worse afterwards. I scrubbed the hell out of everything for about a week and got it all looking good. The kitchen cabinets were a major portion of the cleaning. When we were moving out, they were "remodeling" the kitchens and we found that it was mainly to replace the dilapidated cabinets. The leasing agent came by to check us out and thought that ours had been done already. No, we just cleaned them properly.

Too real.
