Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

security deposit

We moved Novemeber 1st, 2003. I told my landlord in September we would be moving and she said I needed to write her a note and give it her so I did. It has been a month a we still haven't recieved out deposit back so we called her. She claims that we dated the note for October 2nd which wasn't a 30 day notice since we moved the 1st and because she didn't rent out the apartment we don't get our deposit back. Our deposit was $100 more then our rent was and I would like to get at least my amount of rent back. She can keep the extra $100 for carpet cleaning and such. What can I do?

Re: security deposit

You can sue for the remainder. It is also possible that you may be entitled to more than your secrity deposit, attorneys' fees and court costs. Depends on more facts.
