    Forget about your security deposit

    They will not refund your security deposit no matter how many phone calls or emails you send, so do not pay your final month's rent. That's the only way to outsmart these thieves

    Also, heat is controlled by the building and switched off at will, so make sure you have a space heater to avoid freezing to death.
