It sounds like you have a solid case.They clearly let the charges build without evicting you so I originally thought you should just let them accrue and ignore it.

I refuse to allow a rolling/growing total to accrue.

You introduced to him a completely new way to buy a home by his own admission, he was probably just asking out of curiosity more than anything. 

I could also just let the liens sit and accrue interest.

For curiosity's sake I measured my fridge and it is 32.5 and plenty big enough.

Out of curiosity, since you're also in MO, are we able to download the cozy reports and save them?

"Due and payable as rent" is a very powerful clause and I've never had any push back from it.For every 5 business days the security deposit is late, a late fee of $50 per week will accrue, due and payable as rent.The security deposit must be paid in full for the late fee to stop accruing. 

Curiosity and excitement for what the day brings...I work for myself, so i make my schedule.

Out of curiosity, where is the property located? 

I like the flexibility and even though the rate is higher, you only pay for the daily accrued interest instead of an amortized interest front loaded product that ties up your equity unless you pay big fees to refinance.
