This rental scenario is glaringly fraught with discrimination and unreasonableness. Initially agreed for 12 months, the lease was extended to 15 months with a 10% rent increase, to $20,000 USD monthly. Alarming was the landlords demand for twelve months of rent plus a two-month rent equivalent security deposit, totaling $40,000 USD, paid upfront. This requirement is manifestly excessive and unreasonable.Demanding an extensive amount upfront, especially with a hefty security deposit for an unfurnished property, is unequivocally improper. Subsequently, a series of unjustified and irrational deductions were imposed by the landlord upon the propertys return. These included cleaning fees post-repainting and charges for replacing previously new carpets. Regrettably, many charges were not substantiated by legitimate receipts or invoices, revealing a blatant disregard for fairness and transparency.Further, deductions attributed to maintenance, a responsibility not incumbent upon us, were exploited for property upgrades. The landlords conspicuous failure to provide legal receipts and prior notifications underscores the discriminative treatment meted out. Our funds were misappropriated for the landlords upgrades, including additional cleaning and replacements post our extensive cleaning and the landlords repainting, signifying a distressing exploitation and imbalance in tenant-landlord relations.Normal wear and tear were conveniently used as a pretext to justify these unscrupulous deductions. This ordeal epitomizes a scenario **** with discriminatory undertones, unfairly burdening and exploiting tenants, accentuating the urgent need for rectifying such imbalances and injustices in rental dealings.
