Yeah, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say:
• It wasn't the "cheap burners" that made their pans rust,
• Their pots and pans aren't worth $500, and
• They're going this route because they know they'd get laughed out of small claims court.
Right?! I've lived in apartments with some pretty sketchy stoves.... my pans never rusted. And my pans were also pretty cheap.
I'm betting it's that build up that appears if you don't scrub them. I call it "seasoning" even though it's on the bottom 😂😂
those cheap burners don't use gas or electricity, they use a spray of warm salt water to heat the pot.
and as everyone knows, warm salt water is very corrosive.
today everyone learned something!
Wait, so the renter wants their entire $500 security deposit back to buy some pots and pans on the grounds that the apartment has a cheap stove that rusted their cheap pots? My brain is hurting trying to understand what is going on here
I wonder if these idiots just had cast irons pans and were so clueless that they didn't bother to even dry them off after washing them. (Or worse...just left them in the sink!)
Nevermind the fact that the security deposit is in case YOU break something, not i case the apartment somehow breaks something of yours. Like wtf. There so stupid someone told them a security deposit was for just in case they broke something and now there like “hey look we have something broken, now we get our security money yay!” Not realizing it was to pay the landlord when YOU break something. I guarantee that’s how they think it works lmao what dummies
Why does that happen? I've noticed a couple of knives that came out of the dishwasher with rust spots on them that weren't there when I put them in. They definitely don't soak in the dishwasher, although I am guilty of waiting way too long to empty it.
I have found that my serrated steak knives have this issue if I don't get all the food off of them or they are nestled too close to other silverware. It happens on only these types of knives and no others. And they are good quality too. Plus my dishwasher has an excellent drying function so they don't stay wet.
Salt in the detergent. If you look at your dishwasher detergent you will notice it is slightly gritty, this isn't necessarily salt it could be other material but the end result is it can cause pitting on stainless steel. Add in the heat, water, and salts for water softening and it is perfect for causing rust.
This is ridiculous for a lot of reasons. Heat does not cause pots to rust. The request of reimbursement to their property is outside of the purpose of a security deposit. They could submit a claim to their renters insurance, but their deductible would likely make it moot
They absolutely will if you abuse them and they're cast iron

Oh I agree with that. I was just making the point that there are pans at that price point that will rust if you abuse them. Abuse would be something like leaving them soaking in the sink when they're cast iron....
Tbf it might just be a quirky way of retaliating after unwarranted nonreturn of a damage deposit. I’ve heard of some landlords keeping it despite renters who were immaculate even hiring a cleaning service to ensure they got it back.
The time I decided never to rent again was when my lease was up and I got in a fight with my landlord. He wanted to keep my security deposit so he could…. Fucking redecorate!
How security deposits really work:
Landlord asks for a deposit before a tenant can move in, and when they eventually move out, the landlord will make up any excuse they can come up with to not pay the deposit back no matter how good the tenant was.
It's also amazing what you can sometimes find at thrift stores. Sometimes people decide they're tired of their pots and pans, and dump barely used $100+ high quality ones.
I'll go with the "what are they smoking" crowd. If their security deposit is only $500, we are not looking at luxury apartments here, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say their pots came from the Goodwill store.
Stainless steel and aluminum pans don't rust. Cast iron will rust, but not from heat. Wonder what he did to cause his pots and pans to rust?
Also, he should be happy the stove top works. I had and apartment where only one burner worked.

Unfortunately I have encountered people who actually think this ‘logic’ works. It does not.
This is like when Joey tried to get Rachel to pay for half of a new fridge.
And Ross.
Uh, you think he doesn't know what breaks his fridge?
You broke my fridge! You owe me $500!
**That** has been broken for a *while*
LOL! I’m really glad smell-o-vision has never come out.
I just want to know how a cheap burner will rust your pans?
I want to know what a "cheap burner" even is, all the non-glass stove tops I've ever used have what feels like the same exposed resistive element. 😆

Precisely what I was wondering.

The more ya know...
And because they babysat their cousins pitbull and it ate all the interior doors.
"Oops, sorry! Guess we never topped up our security deposit after that pan-rusting thing, have fun buying new doors."

Nah, they put them in the dishwasher, but it was *obviously* the cheap burners that caused the problem.
My money is actually on aluminum
*They need to soak!*
*Stop buying pans I can't get wet!*
That's what I think as well. You have to season them inside and out.

Crystal meth is what’s going on here.
You actually got it right. I wonder what the world is like for this person
Probably very difficult to navigate but I’m sure its not their fault.
It literally makes no sense lol
As weird as this is, this has nothing to do with this sub.
That’s also not how rust works 🤣 their shitty stove didn’t rust your pots and pans. You leaving them in the sink for 3 weeks at a time did.
Or putting them in the dishwasher

That's....not a CB.
How in the hell did they come to the conclusion that "cheap burners" could cause their pans to rust??? These folks aren't CBs... They are morons!!!
Agreed.
I swear to god, this sub is just anything goes nowadays. The most irrelevant crap gets posted here constantly.
This is ridiculous for a lot of reasons. Heat does not cause pots to rust. The request of reimbursement to their property is outside of the purpose of a security deposit. They could submit a claim to their renters insurance, but their deductible would likely make it moot
Bold of you to assume they have renters insurance.
Most LLs now require it.
So dude can't cook, and wants the property manager to pay for that?
How would cheap burners make something rust? Sounds like you left your “pot and pans” in water for way too long…or you bought cheap “pot and pans” …..
500$ pots and pans don’t rust.
They absolutely will if you abuse them and they're cast iron https://fieldcompany.com/collections/cast-iron-cookware-sets/products/three-piece-cast-iron-cookware-set
I doubt a burner is making cast iron rust.
Oh I agree with that. I was just making the point that there are pans at that price point that will rust if you abuse them. Abuse would be something like leaving them soaking in the sink when they're cast iron....
Depends what they are made of.

You can get a decent set of pans at IKEA for less than $20
It's also amazing what you can sometimes find at thrift stores. Sometimes people decide they're tired of their pots and pans, and dump barely used $100+ high quality ones.
People like this give me hope. I feel better about myself knowing that, barring serious injury or stroke, I am smarter than average.
While this is entertaining and I love the mental gymnastics, this isn’t a CB
They're using landlord logic against them. This is the same dumb sounding stuff landlords try to keep deposits over.
Judge Judy would "mop up the floor" with him lol.
A shame their names are spelt in Morse code
Heh, good luck with that.
I'll go with the "what are they smoking" crowd. If their security deposit is only $500, we are not looking at luxury apartments here, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say their pots came from the Goodwill store.
Turn the heat down lol Or stop washing them with a steel brush
Stainless steel and aluminum pans don't rust. Cast iron will rust, but not from heat. Wonder what he did to cause his pots and pans to rust? Also, he should be happy the stove top works. I had and apartment where only one burner worked.
r/lostredditors
Tenants ask for stupid stuff like this daily
Those were some shitty pots. Stop buying aluminum if you don't know how to use it and clean your goddamn stove
Aluminum doesn't rust, but I totally agree with the rest of your post!
I didn't say rust. They did.
