Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
Security Deposit
How can I get my funds back. I was renting a home for two years, now the landlord will not return my security deposit. I have tried calling, emailing and have sent a security deposit demand letter to him with no results. He won't answer my calls or emails. I know in Virginia he has 45 days to return my deposit and it has only been 34days. Is there anything I can do expedite the process? Please help.. I'm out $4500 if not returned.

Re: Security Deposit
If no refund is received by the 45th day, file your case in small claims court against this recalcitrant landlord for $4500 plus the $48 filing fee.
