Former Ohio Owner kept Fla. rental security deposit
FACTS: Former landlord in Ohio sold his house in Florida. He won't return our last months rent or deposit.
Q. How do we get our money?
A. The new owner took over and must have known you were living there; ask him for the deposit. He may have it. If he doesn't, then you have to go after your Ohio former Landlord and send the Judgment you get to Ohio to collect from him.
