It never ceases to amaze me that you persist in your dull-witted playground techniques thinking that they represent some kind of worthy contribution, Conrad.
Physical pain, or exhaustion can lead us to be snappy. Anyone who has ever spent time with kids at the end of a school week, or with an injured animal will have likely experienced some of that.
Frustration with other people's behaviour, getting to the end of your tether with someone taking advantage, or draining you, grieving...lots of physical and emotional reasons.
Yes, because I refused to break the law and endanger vulnerable people.
It was a new job and I couldn't exactly wait until the end of my probationary period to make my objection. I could have been knowingly responsible for a death before reaching my own job security.
I didn't fancy that on my conscience, nor a manslaughter conviction.
You paid two months deposit, so put that to one side.
You paid two months up front, so that paid for your first month and one month you can put aside.
At the beginning of the next month you paid again to cover the next 30/31 days. You still have three months payment put aside, two deposit, one in advance.
At some point you missed two months rent. Take that out of the three months put aside, two months deposit, one in advance. That leaves one month deposit left.
If you didn't give notice at the required time according to your contract, you may be liable for the notice period. If that was one month, your deposit should cover it. If that was more than one month, say, three months, or untl the end of the contract if you were leasing 6 months, or a year at a time, you may legally owe more.
Or, if your landlord wants to keep the two months deposit for other reasons like damage beyond wear and tear/unpaid utilities he should specify and justify that.
If the landlord is trying to get extra rent based on a technicality like notice period, or wear and tear rather than damage, will it be too costly for him to make a legal claim? He's asking for 1,200 which will last for five minutes in legal fees. It may not be worth him persuing, so if it doesn't affect your credit rating, or ability to rent again in the future, it's maybe worth considering ignoring his demands.
Perhaps your first move might be to request an itemised bill from him to see if he can justify the two months he asking you for.
I had my current phone for well over a year before I had a conversation, either because I don't hear it ringing, or because people know to text me. My daughter rang one day in an emergency childcare siituation and I happened to be looking at my phone when it lit up.
The trouble was, never having answered a call before, I didn't know how to.
I'm probably less intense face to face than I am here, mind. I put a lot of thought into my comments like I'm writing an essay and I don't speak in essay format.

RE: God is watching us from a distance
Well, God is quite old, so I imagine watching from a bit more than an arm length away is necessary.
