I need my security deposit? Customs call me?
I rented an apartment and left at the end July. I gave him my address from my home delivery and gave proper notice. Law stipulates that the PA after taking unpaid rent and damages, the owner or the owner must send a list of tenants damage and / or deposit all or part no later than 30 days after termination of the lease or when the owner accepts the key tenant to vacate the premises at the exit, whichever comes first. After 30 days I called and let message, called again and spoke to the participants said he thought the filing published and remember. Never heard of him. Its October now I need to get a lawyer involved or there is an agency of the state I support free? What do I do next

The lawyers are not allowed in small claims court. If the judge finds that the owner retained the funds and not account for reimbursement or compensation within 30 days, you may claim the full amount of the deposit back to the "bad faith "by the owner, and the actual costs and damages caused by not returning the money or not realize that in time. Excuse the "check in the mail 'can not bear the weight if you send it by certified mail, or returned postage due – Better to be able to find physical evidence has been submitted within 30 days, or stop going to their favor. If you look at the Nolo book, you can see where it is said must submit an email cover letter with notice of the application for the total (the period of 30 days, no?) or whether to take legal action.
