: : Document what he does. You can file harassment charges with DHCR. They

: Thank you for responding. Regarding issue #2 you were mis informed. The landlord has no records of my paying a security deposit when I moved in, and is now requesting an additional security deposit of $803.40 which is my current rent. I too, have no record of paying this securoty deposit.
