Re: security deposit NJ
Your landlord is never ENTITLED to any of your security deposit money. It can only be used to cover damage done to the apt. caused by you. The fact that it was not placed in an interest-bearing account won't preclude it from being used for this purpose.
If you'd like to dicsuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me.
