Return of safety deposit

Postby firebird » Tue Jun 30, 2009 2:36 pm

Hi,
what are my rights if the landlord fails to return the safety deposit when I move out?

Everything is documented (contract and receipts). Would it be realistic to recoup the deposit in small claims court? Could anyone recommend whom to seek for (free or nonfree) legal advice?

Thanks!

Have you already moved out? If not, then when shall you? Either way you don't need a lawyer for this.
