  Hollow tip are best, they spall inside the landlord and are less likely to exit out the back and damage anything of value.

    Landlord: You shot me!

    Tennant: Yup. Take a look. At least I didn’t fuck up the paint or the carpet.

  Wow. Either someone was too lazy to turn of the default settings, or figured it was appropriate to ask. Either way, that’s some shocking lack-of-awareness going on.

  It’s called Key Money but in some places like Japan it’s essentially a gratuity (in the US and other places it’s just a refundable security deposit)

      They are supposed to put your deposit and last month’s rent in an escrow account. But the shadier US landlords never do.

        That’s all landlords. They never follow the law because they have significantly more power over the tenant. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a security deposit back in full in the dozen or so apartments I’ve lived in, they always have some slimy excuse for it.
