I can promise you that the towns outside of military bases are almost always shitholes. I’ve had bad landlords. I’ve had one apartment complex that wouldn’t fix an exterior wall hole (that was present when we moved in). I’ve just never found myself in a position where I didn’t document something on move-in, and that they tried to claim that I did while I was living there because I didn’t keep my house like a shit-sty.

I never made a claim that I never had a bad landlord. Just that I did my due diligence on move-in and move out and have never needed to give up my deposit. In my mind, you have to fuck the place up to lose it.
