Breakups tend to be complicated. However, continuing to live with someone you have already broken up with cranks up that difficulty to 11.
As this Redditor who’s been in this exact situation shares, it was hard. Even though he was the one wronged, he didn’t want any kind of revenge. But when an opportunity for malicious compliance presented itself, he didn’t hesitate. Scroll down to read the full story!

Breakups are difficult as they are, and having to deal with your ex after them is very rarely a pleasant experience for either person

After moving out, he had to return to help clean up and fix some stuff in the apartment, but his ex threatened to keep the deposit if he didn’t do well enough

Hey! I’m Dominykas, and I come from Lithuania. According to my diploma, I’m a UX Designer. However, when during my studies, I (re)discovered my passion for storytelling, I’ve been doing that ever since, mostly in writing. I have written a few short stories, some songs, and a good bunch of articles, and I plan to keep expanding on all these fronts. Aside from that, I’m also a film buff, traveler, casual basketball player, video game enthusiast, and nature lover who will rarely pass up on a little hike through the forest or a simple walk around a park.

To the person who thinks landlords are supposed to keep the security deposit- NO! They might not offer it back trying to keep it and you might have to request in writing. It's to cover damages you cause to the rental. If you clean the place and haven't damaged anything, you should get it back. The laws differ in each state/country but you should know the landlord/tenant laws and rights in your area if you rent

And if you don't get it back, best to have an itemized list of why. It's the most legal way to go.

I walked away from the deposit as well as my ex. He tried to claim he paid the deposit (just had try gaslighting me once more I guess). I was done with him, so I walked and never looked back.
