Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
I gave over 30 days notice to my landlord and left the apartment in a nicer condition than I had received it in. My landlord also requested that I personally give the keys straight to the next tenant (with no prior inspection from her) which I did and he started to move in that day. If I have made several attempts to contact my landlord about my deposit and in return, have been completely ignored (not one phone call or email has been returned), can I sue for double my deposit amount due to bad faith? Is this something that I need to state in my lawsuit for my full deposit back including any court fees? It has been over four months (I have already sent a letter of demand certified mail, which she signed) and I still have not heard anything from her.
Thank you very much
