I know mate. I am just saying, i said it in my first response and no matter what else is said that is the only thing that holds true. Check the agreement. Some have this covered, some have this implied, some dont say a word about it and those are the ones you have to watch out for. As it will always favor the landlord over tennant.
I nearly had to go to small claims court over a dispute with a landlord. I have been through this process before. It was settled before it came to that.
As Mak said, the lease is the be-all to the end-all. However, also as Mak said, I would check the lease agreement. But if it isn't covered there, you do have options. And usually landlords are favored, but not always. Your lease is the first place to go for your solution, I am agreeing with that. But just keep in mind you have options if it isn't written in a lease and signed by both parties.
