My ex-landlord won’t give me my damage deposit back and he’s insinuated that he’ll hurt me if I don’t drop the issue. He’s a Donnie Brasco-era Mafioso type, so I’m taking him somewhat seriously. The place is in the exact condition it was in when my roommate and I first rented it (i.e., shitty). We even did a walk-through with him and he said all was fine. But now two months have passed, the place still isn’t rented, and he’s trying to ding us for the entire $1,800. He says he has witnesses who can attest to the damage we’ve caused. He’s even banished me from Brooklyn! What can I do? PS: He also called me a “smart little faggot.”
