Some of this, I can kind of understand… However, you don’t have to be rich to understand that refundable deposits are meant to be refunded if you take care of the place.
Those 10 or so places that I mentioned while in the military… I was enlisted. I made between 20-30k… With some money for housing allowance. I wasn’t rolling in dough.
The rate of burglary is 271 per 100k per year in the US but nobody doubts it exists. If the rate of weasels ripping off deposits was 1 in 20 which is incredibly high and you sampled 10 instances the chance of getting zero is 0.95^10. That is to say the chance that someone would rent 10 times in such a market and not have someone try to rip you off is ~60%. Your sample size isn’t meaningful even if it were random.
