Can I still sue my landlord if my security deposit was received?

The state where I live allows 30 days for a landlord to return a security deposit. After 45 days at least 3 phone calls to my landlord, my security deposit had not been refunded. I finally threatened my landlord with a lawsuit, and the check arrived in a few days. Can I still sue my landlord for the 1.5 times the deposit amount even though I have received the check, because of the violation of time frame?|||You can sue til the cows come home if you want.|||You could go through with it if you have proof of when you received the money and copies of your communication with your landlord.


It depends how high the deposit was if it's really worth it. It is a hassle, if I were you, I would just be happy I got the money and let it go, but that would be up to you.|||What's your loss exactly - the interest you could have earned on the check had you received it on time? hardly worth it....|||You'll spend more money and time, and probably won't win, it's a waste of your time.|||And when the Judge ask you what your loss is, what are you going to say???|||you won you got Your money now move on.
