Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Refusal to return security deposit

I recently moved from California to Arizona. My California landlord is refusing to return my security deposit ($800) and/or to give me any accounting. She knows that it is unlikely that I will return to California to take her to small claims court.

When I requested information she e-mailed me to "stop pissing her off" or she would get my disability payments cut off.

Is there anything I can do other than return to California?

Re: Refusal to return security deposit

She is liable for the $800 plus a $200 penalty for not giving an accounting but you have to file in CA small claims court.
