Insufficient measures in place to protect the rights of tena

There's your problem right there

Having had my flippant moment, see above, you will find that many people here go through the same thing, though that doesn't make you feel better.

Of course you could always go the legal route, but that would potentially cost you more in the long run . . . though one letter may suffice.

Do you have your landlord's phone number so the lawyer can call?

In terms of cleanliness . . . you may think you have left the place in the same or better state . . . but that may not be the case and the landlord has the right to have it cleaned.

It stinks, but no choice, really
