Hello,
A woman that works with me is having problems with her landlord and the security deposit. She vacated the building about 5 days ago and requested for her security back but the landlord refuses to give it. He told her "I have no money"...can you believe this guy??? I told her to keep the apartment key until he gives it back. She cleaned the place like the first day she moved in...I was trying to locate laws on security deposits and what the proper time is on returning it once a tenant has left- does anyone have that info? She lived in Queens and she did not sign any lease agreements.
Thank you for your advice.
