okay. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 19:13
seriously ... what would be the consequences? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:12 21
- I'd probably lose my deposit. -- nm - Dano Aug 30, 19:12 20
  - a few years ago, a guy i know wanted to get rid of everything, he had a "yard giveaway" (instead of a yard sale.) - Andie Aug 30, 19:14 1
    - I love this. My best friend did this years ago when she was about to go live in Africa for a year. She invited all her friends to her goodby party - loosilu Aug 30, 19:28
  - is it such a big deal? I always assume I'll lose mine. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:14 17
    - If you live in one of those mega corp complexes, the deposit is only the beginning, they will come after you for all kinds of inflated costs. - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:22 5
      - they can't really come after you. When I worked for my dad's law practice he did collections for a big apartment complex. It's not worth it for - loosilu Aug 30, 19:26 4
        
        read the contracts, collection and legal fees are added on to the amount owed -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:36 3
        
        these days they'll come after anyone. - zork Aug 30, 19:39 1
        
        ok, your mistake was co-signing. But realistically speaking, if someone is broke, it is not worth the legal fees. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:44
        
        oh, and they report to the credit agency, heck the only way to get in those places is to have a good credit rating. -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:37
    - The carpet is going to have to be cleaned this time for sure. (stupid cat) -- nm - Dano Aug 30, 19:16 2
      - to hell with it, then. Leave whatever you want. They can't do anything to you. - loosilu Aug 30, 19:21 1
        
        they can charge you cleaning and disposal charges and send it to a collection agency which will show on your credit report -- nm - zork Aug 30, 19:33
    - really? i have never paid a penny for damages in my life. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 19:14 7
      - hmmm, I think I have gotten it back most of the time. Might have been one or two times I didn't. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:23
      - I always assume the deposit is lost and if I get anything back, it's a bonus. - David Aug 30, 19:20 2
        
        Hmmm. I've rented so many places in so many cities, I am really not sure. I do believe there are local trends. - loosilu Aug 30, 19:30
        
        That is my thought also. - amoxy Aug 30, 19:22
      - i have very rarely gotten mine back in full, but i've never lost the whole thing either. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 19:15
      - in maryland, i got mine back with interest -- nm - milky Aug 30, 19:15 1
        
        we don't really pay a 'deposit' but we pay last month's rent in advance and you are responsible for damages. - Andie Aug 30, 19:17
