So my former roomate and I are having some serious issues with our old landlord, they are not only unwilling to return our deposit but are attempting to charge extra after deposit deductions. They are saying that the cleaning we did was not sufficient despite the fact that we scrubbed that house and left it in better condition than we got it (which was not exactly clean and shiny). They are not budging on this however, so we are thinking we are going to threaten to report them to the city for a suite that is not up to code as a last resort. So my question is what sort of repercussions could they face for having a bedroom without a window to the outside? I have tried googling this but have failed to find anything in the form of fines they could have. I just want to be sure that this is something that will actually make them reconsider.

Thanks!
