You know you are an e30 enthusiast when you count money in units of S engines.

Sigworthy.

Assuming you paid in cash. If you happened to have paid by check you can go to small claims court and prove that you had monthly payments for a specific amount to them as a rent payment. Once that's established you should be able to get your deposit back.

This will undoubtedly take a day of you sitting in a municipal court, which blows. My time is worth more than $80, so I'd just say fuck it. You have one less chance to go out to dinner this month, buy some Ramen and call it a day.

This, you pretty much put yourself in that position and now you're paying for it. There really is no excuse for not writing a formal contract because of time. Certain measures need to be taken in order to prevent from being screwed.

Make a $165 mess when you leave. Problem solved.

No lease agreement means, no deposit back. I've rented multiple times and I always have the mindset that I'm just not going to get the deposit back that when I do, it's like getting free money!
