Oof that's a great read.

Having been sued by former landlords, and successfully counter-suing same landlords in the US, most of them are utterly ignorant of the laws and relevant code.

At best they know the parts that support their interests, without understanding the balancing parts that protect the tenant.

They also don't understand that judges tend to be sympathetic to the tenants position, as they too have family that have to deal with scummy landlords, and judges see scummy landlords every day.

This landlord will enjoy their $30k comeuppance payments to their former tenant they tried to screw over. Love it.
