There is a statutory time frame for the landlord to impose a lien against the security deposit. Within 30 days the landlord must send certified mail that info. IF that is not done, you are entitled to the entire deposit and can get attorney's fees for the pursuit. Seek legal counsel with a copy of your lease.
