Landlord tries to extort $300 from tenant for deep cleaning despite tenant leaving the place spotless: 'It is just another way to extract wealth from people who are already struggling'

Moving is stressful, even without extra landlord drama. 

Nobody wants to feel like they're being taken advantage of. But this has a way of happening with landlords all the time. You need an apartment, and they need someone to pay for it, and somewhere in there, everything gets mixed up. And if you're unlucky enough to have to deal with a greedy landlord, then you know just how much of a toll it can take on your psyche. It can make you feel unwelcome in your own home, which is not a fun feeling. You feel like everything you do is being evaluated, and you don't want to feel that way. You want to feel like you have a right to be there and to move about the space in the way that you'd like to. The wrong landlord, though, can make that feel impossible. And what landlord isn't the wrong landlord?
