Discussion about
Situation: I moved out of a rental place a few weeks ago. I paid up rent excluding the last month, moved out of the unit in excellent condition. Told the owner to keep the deposit as I wasn't feeling like floating 6k for a month or two and potentially getting shortchanged. Landlord told me that I need to pay the last month rent or they will report me to the credit bureaus as delinquent. Whats up? Is it even possible for owner to do that? I did not realize signing a lease was applying for credit. This seems totally unilateral.
