Sueing my former landlord. He refuses to return my deposit and actually wants me to pay for services and repairs that (he claims) were needed to be done after I had moved out. Instead of returning about two thousand Euros to me he wants me to pay about the same amount.
Wastes a lot of time, only makes lawyers richer, requires an enormous amount of painstaking bureaucracy, and is annoyning all the way. He uses a strategy that unfortunately works way to often: massively overcharging, letting the former tenant go to court, and then trying to settle out of court by "generously" offering to reduce the amount asked for by half or something like that - which would still mean a veritable profit for the landlord.
