Re: Can I Still Sue After over 1 year

your landlord still owes you, and you can still sue, a year and a half is not too long. i am in north jersey so i can not really help you a lot.

maybe you can send a letter (keep a copy) asking for your money back, then sue for three times that amount. i have done that for clients before.

maybe you can get a lawyer near you to help you.

good luck!
