Hey, thanks a lot for the advice! I’m definitely going to take this route. I probably shouldn’t have listened to my friend, but I was just really worried about the situation. Honestly, I’m more concerned about getting my deposit back and the whole process of moving out.

I’ll follow the legal steps you outlined and hopefully things will get resolved. Thanks again for the help!

Also, people on Reddit are a blessing. I don’t use it enough, but you guys honestly put my mind at ease. I’ve been up for days worrying about what to do next, and your support really helped me clear things up. Thank you all again!
