Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

UD and return of security deposit

About 9 months ago, my landlord hit

me with an UD. We ended up in

court and signed a stipulation

agreement that was sealed by the

judge. Since that day, I have moved

out of my apartment and did exactly

as they told me to do, including a

final walkthrough with the property

manager, so that they

would be required to perform their

agreed to items, namely return my

last months rent and security deposit

= $2600.

Instead of doing that, the property

manager hit me with a nasty letter

telling me that I should feel lucky

that the landlord isn't going to charge

me for the remodeling costs that

they had to incur because of

damages that I caused. The

walkthrough with the property

manager at the time I left, indicated

that

there were no outstanding items on

my end.

To date I have yet to receive my

money and have had no luck getting

the clerk at the Courthouse to make

me a copy of my own stipulation

agreement!! How do I get a copy of

my own file? Can I get damages

from the landlord? Do I have to go

to small claims or should I go back to

the same court? Thanks
