Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

Indiana security deposit refund

I never received my notice of deductions along with the balance of my Security Deposit from my landlord, they stated they mailed it by certified mail within the 45 day period but admit the Post Office ''lost'' the letter and it was never delivered. Can I request my full security deposit back?

Re: Indiana security deposit refund

Thank you for your question the statute says "delivered to". To me, that implies receipt by you within 45 days. I would ask the landlord for it and if he turns you down, you can always file in small claims. The statute allows for the recovery of attorneys fees so you might want to contact a local attorney.
