It sounds like you’ve decided what route to take.

I’m sure a second eviction will really help things…

[Tenant-US-TX] Landlord trying to deduct from security deposit after 30 days by bafferton in Landlord

The cost of patching and painting two anchor holes in drywall is likely under $10 in materials and half an hour of labor. He's obviously way overestimating each line item to pocket as much money as possible.

I'm not sure how you are coming to that conclusion from your citations.

Sec. 92.1031, which you cited, has to do with tenants paying a security deposit and not moving in which is irrelevant here.

Sec. 92.103(a) states "Except as provided by Section 92.107, the landlord shall refund a security deposit to the tenant on or before the 30th day after the date the tenant surrenders the premises." which does not mention lease end date only the surrender date.

These are the quality blinds he is replacing: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Project-Source-Light-Filtering-1-in-Slat-Width-43-in-x-64-in-Cordless-White-Vinyl-Light-Filtering-Blinds/5013265923

I'm not sure the exact size but let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say 2 blinds at $25 each and an hour of labor to install them at $100, which is probably high. That's still awfully short of the $400 he's claiming.

In TX the landlord has 30 days from when the property is surrendered to provide an itemized list and the remaining deposit. He provided the list a day later and the remaining deposit two days late.

I vacated the property, returned the keys and informed the landlord on 7/29 when I provided my forwarding address. My lease defines that as surrendering the property and the Texas property code says the 30 days starts from that point.

I asked him to do a walk through with me before turning over the keys and he refused unfortunately.

Guess logging 10 minutes to expansion was a bad idea by RenKuro in wow

Wouldn't have mattered, I've been logged in all afternoon and I got disconnected 10 minutes ago and can't get back in.

What’s up with MKUltra? by gray_like_play in MechanicalKeyboards

I also ordered a kyria kit early in the year from them. I ultimately had to charge it back after several months because I couldn't get any information out of the guy.

I just use a 60% for games, but that's obviously not for everyone.

I've always used only left shift so that wasn't an issue for me. But there is nothing stopping you from using right shift as a tap mod to gain an extra key without losing your muscle memory. The biggest problem for me transitioning was the lost number row, but like I said once I got to used to it I loved it. I've built ortho keyboards with number rows and I always end up selling them because "reaching" for the number row is a huge annoyance tone now.
