I would personally take him to court, and I certainly wouldn't offer to clean his yard from what I hear about the situation. Unless there is some other information I am missing, I think you have a strong case. He never explicitly and clearly agreed to your offer (and explicitly refused) and therefore cannot hold you to it. Furthermore, he sounds like a person too caught up into himself that he needs to be taught how to work and deal with people, especially since he is planning to become a doctor. I'm sure you have had other bad experiences with him as well. Hopefully the judge will also reward you compensation for the opportunity cost of your time. But your full security deposit seems like the crucial part of any decision.
