Slumlord took my $300 deposit, so I redirected his website to his main competitor.

I rented a little house from a man who owned a painting business.

and agreed to find a new

place to live. We left the home in much better shape than we found it. He said he'd mail us

the security deposit, but never did. He dodged my phone calls until one day he called to say,
