Found out my landlord in Logan Square can keep my whole deposit just for "normal wear and tear"
Was reading the lease again last night and found a line saying they can charge me for paint and carpet after 2 years, which I always thought counted as normal wear. Looked it up and Illinois actually has a law about this, the landlord can't just take your money for stuff that wears out on its own. Has anyone here actually gotten a deposit back after fighting one of these clauses, or did you just eat the loss like I'm about to?
