A man successfully sued his landlord over a deposit money dispute - with the help of ChatGPT.<br /><br />Chris Maloney, 23, and his girlfriend Nadia Syed, 22, moved out of their apartment in Amherst, New York, in July.<br /><br />Following the move, their landlord deducted £770 ($1k) from their deposit for cleaning and repair costs. <br /><br />As tenants, Chris and Nadia already had a negative experience when their landlord took months to replace a window.<br /><br />So, when money was deducted from their deposit, Chris decided to fight back. <br /><br />He ran their tenancy agreement thought ChatGPT and the AI tool found that in New York, deposits cannot exceed one month's rent while the couple had paid a month and a half.<br /><br />Without representation, Chris decided to take his landlord to court and used ChatGPT to build his case.<br /><br />Both parties presented their case before a judge on Oct 17 and last week Chris received the judgement in his favour - awarding him £993 ($1,180).
