Who do i call to get my damage deposit back?

i lived in an apt for 3 yrs. about the second year our ground floor apt. floors were soaked every time it rained. We notified the rental manager and had several visits from various people including carpet cleaners. i informed the agent that we were looking for a new place as mold was growing in our apt. we were in a lease. i have a three yr old son. and i don't think i should have to subject him to an unsafe environment. i eventually moved out when we found a place suitable for us. now the owner of the apt won't give the damage dep. back because we broke the lease. whom shall i call?

The security deposit is often used to pay for damages at the end of a lease tern, but the real purpose of the deposit is to assure you will honor the lease until it ends. When you opted to break the lease and move elsewhere on your own, you forfeited your security deposit. Read the lease, it explains this fact. Feel free to call a lawyer, they will explain the same thing to you.|||These are the types of questions lawyers get rich from! Your best bet is to speak to a lawyer. Make sure you bring any records you have of the incidents mentioned above.


Hopefully it won't cost more to pay a lawyer and take time off work than the deposit is worth?


Good luck and don't give up!|||You can try and sue him in small claims court but you must have proof of the damages in question.





Unfortunately, I have a feeling that you won't be getting your security deposit back.|||You did break the lease, and are not entitled to the return of your deposit.
