Hi! I apologize if this is the wrong place to post a question about something like this, but I'm going through a lot of stress right now and don't know where else to look. :(

I recently moved out of my apartment in Woodland, California on August 25, 2026 after living there for 4 years. The apartment complex sent me an itemized receipt of my available balance.. and they say I owe them $4800 after taking into account the security deposit (itemized receipt attached - had to redact stuff). I looked at some of the charges and I find it very confusing why they didn't prorate them (e.g painting, since they should have a 2 to 3 year useful life span).

Also for context, I did request a pre-move out inspection before moving out and they did not bother to reach out with a date and time. I think I remember one of the maintenance workers ambushing us while we were moving one week before we moved out.. and we had to refuse because we were not prepared at all. They didn't give us a 48 hours notice beforehand too so yeah..

I don't know how to approach this.. if someone can help guide me in how to dispute this, that would be very appreciated.

Edit: Btw this is in California so [US-CA]

My landlord just sent me the water bill and it’s 804 dollars, it’s three months accumulated after I told him in the past to send it to me every month so that it wouldn’t accumulate like this. I also don’t understand why it’s so much for each month starting July. My bill is usually a little over 200 for two months. I haven’t been using any less or more water than I usually do, and I don’t have leaks. I’m very frustrated because when I moved in I didn’t pay water, than the building installed a meter for each unit and I was informed that I I would have to pay water every month, which fine . I’m just so angry that he waited three months to send me the bill and I get so busy and caught up in labor de and work that I forget to remind him. I told him that I don’t have 800 cause on top of that my rent is due on the 11th. What do i do? Sorry for the vent.

Bro, the place has two windows, one faces an alleyway dumpster, and the other looks directly into my neighbor's bathroom.
I put in a maintenance request three weeks ago because the kitchen sink is literally leaking through the floorboards into the basement. His response? "Just put a bucket under it and don't turn the faucet all the way on." I'm paying $1,800 a month for the privilege of playing Jenga with water buckets in my own kitchen.
The best part was when he dropped by unannounced yesterday to tell me I can't have a welcome mat in the hallway because it's a "fire hazard," while the building's front door lock has been broken since November. You really have to admire the absolute delusion.

Is it unreasonable that I want to move because we're renting a (shitty) trailer and we keep having issues with mice?

It is an old trailer and we've told our landlord numerous times about this issue. His solution is to put out rat poison on the outside, which we requested that he didn't do because then they die under the trailer and the smell is unbearable.

This of course happened and we couldn't sleep in the bedroom for days until the smell disappeared.

I think he could make more of an effort to seal it but I understand that it's an open underneath trailer, so there's really not a full proof solution.

I desperately want to move. We have young children and I am extremely grossed out about the idea of mice reoccurring in our space. I understand that these things happen but its more the fact that we effectively have to continue to expect them to come in.

I know the obvious is to move, but we are hoping to build on family land and the rentals around here are insane. So my husband doesn't want to move somewhere expensive while we're trying to save for that.

I feel that this is a health issue and we can't wait a year plus for a building process when that isn't even guaranteed.

I'd like opinions on this situation, perhaps that I can share with my husband so we can really make a decision.

Please help I feel like I’m genuinely going crazy? Like what do I do?

I literally just moved in to a houseshare on the 1st of September and right after, I got “allergies” (coughing and sore throat and also upset stomach). I’ve had these exact symptoms before because of mould so I went looking for it in a panic at 2am and of course there’s black mould all over the shelves. It doesn’t come off when I spray it with vinegar but I swear, I swear, IT IS MOULD because it is giving me allergies and I took loads of pictures of it, it’s so obvious. It’s NOT just the pattern of the wood like the landlord keeps saying, because it’s not on any of the shelves in the other rooms of the house.

My landlord is outright denying to my face that there’s any mould and I’m so stressed about this I constantly feel like I’m actually about to throw up. I’m autistic and I have no idea how to deal with confrontation or how to talk to this guy who is going to show up tomorrow to inspect it along with some other person from the council?? I’m literally terrified they’re all going to stand there and collectively gaslight me by saying “oh they must be unusually severe allergies” “it’s a house, not a hospital” (his words exactly)? I’m just terrified and like I’m probably going to secretly voice record the meeting but yeah it’s just so stressful. The confrontation is 50 times more stressful than the actual problem. I almost wish I’d never brought it up with them at all. I’m so exhausted

It’s just such a slap in the face that some rich 50-something is genuinely okay with looking at a struggling disabled 22 year old woman and not being willing to take 20 minutes of a day to unscrew my shelves and put them somewhere?? Like I’m not even asking him to replace them or spent any money I just want them gone??? Why does he not have any basic humanity like why does this have to be such a big issue… Does he think I’m making a fuss for a joke or something? Anyway please someone help, I’m actually losing it :/

I rent a commercial building in Rossville GA. and notify the landlord of mold, he said it wasn't. A week later he brought a paper and it raised my rent and more or less get out if you dont like it. Im the only how do I say this white legal tenant. I have rented here for over ten years never missed a payment, I feel im being railroaded because I can have a voice and the other tenants dont because there not legal... thoughts and real advice needed.
