Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
3yrs ago I moved out of an apartment in which I lived for 1yr, the place was in bad shape when I received it. When I moved out the Landlord replaced everything and not only kept my deposit but charged me for all upgrades they did. I have done research about this management company and have come across others that have fallen victim in the same manner. I recently have been trying to build credit and this seems to be affecting me, am I past statute of limitation for pursuing legal action?

If you had a written lease, you have 4 years to bring an action. If the lease or rental agreement was oral, you only have 2 years.
