1 Answer from Attorneys
If you complied with the landlord tenant act you are entitiled to your security deposit. The landlord under the act must send it to you within a specified period unless he first itemizes any damages to the premises or costs of repair which may be subtracted from what is owed. You of course can object to his accounting. Apparently he did not do this. The other issue is whether you returned the key to the premises to the landlord which may be an issue. All cases are different and fact sensitve. Contact an attorney for a consultation if you have questions.
