Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Tenant Law
I am looking to serve my former
landlord for my security deposit and
prorated rent; however, upon going to
the L.A. Assessor's office, his address is
given as the apartment where I lived,
not his home address. How can I have
him served in person if I don't know his
home address?
Also, is there a period of time where it's
too late for me to take him to Small
Claims.
I appreciate any advice.

Re: Tenant Law
Try http://www.zabasearch.com. Perhaps you'll find a better address. If you have a written lease, the statute of limitation for breach of contract is 4 years. But you should do it within 1 year of when the refund was due, since you probably need the money, anyway. He might have waived any claim against it if he didn't itemize deductions within the statutory time period.
