Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Recovering Deposit

I need to take my former landlord to Small Claims Court to dispute an improper withholding of my deposit. I believe this is a breach-of-contract matter that would fall under a four-year statute. My move-out date was in 2004... am I still good on the statute of limitations?

Re: Recovering Deposit

You are correct, provided there was a written lease. The general rule is 4 year statute on written contract, and 2 years on oral contract.
