Re: Returning deposit
It is impossible for me to tell whether you had a sufficient reason to terminate the lease. You may want to talk to an attorney, to give yourself the best chance to get the money back if you have to sue him in small claims court.
Give me a call if you like. I would be happy to help you out.
