"landlords have 30 days to return the security deposit with any deductions listed. Failure to do so results in the landlord owing the tenant double the original amount with no deductions." I printed that out, highlighted the relevant section,... "
Young jedi. You mail this AFTER 30 days and get the money.
- hahajk 3y agoI'd rather have $1000 without going to court than $2000 and the hassle of suing someone.
- ransom1538 3y agoWhat about $2000 without going to court? They will most likely pay immediately to avoid court [landlords don't like being in court with a 'failure to repay security deposit' type case].
- keiferski 3y agoYeah I just wanted my money back and to move on, not get involved with the courts.
- ToValueFunfetti 3y agoAnother way of looking at it is whether you should punish the landlord for attempting to steal your money, with the extra $1000 being an incentive/payment for your time. I don't think there's a moral obligation to do so, but it definitely improves the world if landlords are afraid to try this tactic on others.
