每年是一个月的房租是通过agent跟屋主签的，所以续约也是通过agent :(

我们跟你情况差不多，住了五六年的condo退租时除了地毯污迹没赔钱，其他损坏的全赔了大概三四百，老公当时还是通过经纪找的房子，拿了他五年commision一句话都没替我们说:( 按理住了这么久，很多东西变旧变坏很正常，但毕竟合同在那儿，多赔少赔还是看房东人品了。。

嗯，老公也傻一般都是屋主找agent唉。。趁有了娃搬家，终于不用他继续年年养着这agent了～

最新update, 已经退房2月底退房当天屋主没有来，还是和屋主的中介交接。 今天中介邮件我说，屋主会扣除全部3500的押金， “The Owner is very upset the conditions of the property, & they are going to claim all the damaged items as follow:- 1) Three Seater Sofa. 2) Dunlop Super Single Divan bed with storage. 3) Dunlop Queen Bed Divan 4) 6 Damaged Dinning chairs. 5) 2 Missing tinted Glass panel. 6) 2 Damaged air con remote 7) Failed to notify the leaking ceiling in the common toilet, causing the ceiling beyond repair & have to reinstall a new ceiling 8) Refund the balance 3 months commission due to the premature termination. & More. Mr & Mrs xxx reply is all this claims already cost, more than the one month deposits $3,500, with this consideration They'll confiscate the balance deposit. I can understand the Owners disappointment, in order not to complicate the matters & result of further claims against you, I sincerely feel this is best way moving forward. You may think otherwise, but put yourself as the owner in (more...)

多谢建议，已经决定上小额法庭，接下来会顺便直播过程，给后来人一些经验中午和朋友吃饭，他也刚刚退房，屋主以莫须有的原因扣了全部3000的押金。但他是EP准证，他很无奈的告诉我，他不敢去file claim, 怕上court对他有影响，所以就只能本着多一事不如少一事的原则默默的接受了。 看来这样的屋主真不是少数啊，而像我朋友这种想法也越来越助长了这种屋主的气焰。 可惜我是公民，屋主吓不到我。
