My apartment complex sent me notice after I vacated the apt. that said I would be refunded a secuirty deposit?

it said my full security deposit would be returned to me within 45 days. Well now it has been 70 days and they still have not mailed it. Every time I call I am being told that they switched management companies and that has been put on the back burner. I live in Virginia. How do I get my security deposit back?|||File a suit in small claims. They'll move it up a couple burners in order to make it go away. Also, I would call the BBB in their town and file a complaint.|||I would start moving up the chain of command, and not just whoever answers the phone. Document all of your calls - date, who you talked to, what was said. Even if they changed management companies, security deposits should be kept in escrow and you should get it back.





You could also take them to small claims court. Keep your evidence and document your attemtps to collect, a copy of the lease agreement, to use in court.|||It sounds like management issues. You will probably have to sue them for it. Go to the court house and they should be able to tell you what forms you need to fill out and how much it will cost. Make sure you take a copy of that letter.





They do not get more time because of their internal management problems.
