Woman matches with former landlord on Hinge and agrees to date to get security deposit back TikTok: dubwaahA Tennessee TikTok user went viral after telling viewers that she matched with her previous landlord on the dating app Hinge and agreed to go on a date with him \u2013 if he paid using her security deposit that she had yet to get back. Being in your 20s is hard. You\u2019re thrown into the adult world and expected to learn everything and bills, taxes and deposits while also fighting with others to rent a home. And on top of this, there\u2019s dating and finding your way around dating apps. It becomes even more awkward when your previous landlord, who has yet to pay back your security deposit, matches with you on one of these apps. Luckily it doesn\u2019t happen a lot, but it\u2019s exactly what happened to TikToker dubwaah, also known as Heather DuBois. How did the landlord not recognize Heather? Taking to TikTok, Heather showed screenshots of a man who had liked and sent a messaged to Heather on Hinge. In the message, the man invited Heather out for coffee and shared his Instagram account. Thanks to the account name, Heather realized the potential match was her former landlord, who she had only met once before when first touring the property. Talking about the top photo on the man\u2019s profile, Heather told her viewers: \u201cI noticed the background on one of his photos and I was like \u2018what the heck? That was taken on the rooftop on my old townhouse that I moved out of back in September\u2019.\u201d She went on: \u201cHe clearly didn\u2019t recognize me in the photo because we only met once when I toured the apartment. But things ended very badly. To the point when we both said \u2018don\u2019t contact me again\u2019.\u201d The landlord refuses to pay back deposit Having lived there with her now ex-boyfriend, Heather described the pair as easy tenants that never requested anything from the landlord. But as their lease ended, things took a turn for the worse. \u201cHe ended up keeping our security deposit with absolutely zero word of what the damages were, no running list. He just texted me like \u2018you know the damages are far beyond the security deposit.\u2019 \u201cNo, I actually don\u2019t know that. I paid over 400 for a move out cleanout. We left that place like spick and span.\u201d She continued to explain how things quickly escalated, with the landlord threatening to file a police report and claimed that the pair had gone back to the property to claim mail \u2013 which they hadn\u2019t done, according to Heather, as they were out of state. Heather then cut back to the screenshot of the hinge profile, having written a message that read: \u201cYes, sure! But only if you give me the security deposit back\u201d along with a smiley face. Could this be the next new rom-com story? Heather\u2019s video has gone viral, racking up 181,000 views with most people being on Heather\u2019s side. One person wrote in the comments: \u201cgo on Just enough dates for him to pay enough to equal the deposit.\u201d Another said: \u201cAsk him if you can come over, get his address, then serve him with a civil suit to reclaim your security deposit since he illegally withheld it\u201d A third person said: \u201cIf only I would match my old LL. Would venmo charge him for emotional trauma.\u201d Referring to the hit 90s rom-com You\u2019ve Got Mail, a fourth person wrote: \u201cnew rom-com with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.\u201d One day after publishing the first video, Heather updated viewers in a new video, where she revealed that the landlord had unmatched with her on the app after reading her message and finding out who she was. Not the happy ending we were hoping for. For more entertainment news and other viral stories, head over to check out our coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
