Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri
real estate
Our previous duplex was sold to real estate company. We had to track them down. When we finally did we had been ready to put our thirty days notice in. Because they did not give us any of their info we lost out on three weeks of rent. We never signed anything with them. To my understanding we go by our originally lease. They were trying to tell me what all I needed to do for their move out sheet. The way I left the duplx was the condition it was in prior too.My old landlord has contacted them and proven that. Now its been over thirty days, now noone will return our calls and we still have not recieved any of our deposit.

Re: real estate
You have the option of taking your case to small claims court(assuming the amount is small). You can name both the real estte company and your old landlord. This may cause them to argue out as to who holds your deposit. Either can be brought in for issues relating to the security deposit. The buyer will need the old owner to prove the pre-lease condition of the premises. The seller needs the buyer to show that all funds were transferred.
Good Luck
