Legal Question in Business Law in California

How long does a Landlord have to return your security deposit. Security deposit is not more than 1 monts rent $1,268. I also have a email agreement that there will be a hold back $500 to remove, paint and patch up for a sign removal with a clause that the total amount would not exceed $1,000 and that this will be shared 50 %. Also we agreed upon that if the cost of the removal is less than $1,000 I would only pay 50 % of the amount from the hold back and the rest of the security deposit of $500 that was not used is returned. As of now 8/6 I have not recieved any refund or invoices to confirm the itemized breakdown nor the other portion of the security deposit that should have been released since I vacated the property on 6/30. The property was also confirmed with a walkthrough with the new tenant and property management and has accepted the condition of the property with no issue.

Your question is about Landlord-Tenant Law, not Business Law. Please re-post it in that category. More lawyers with the relevant expertise will see it there, and future users with similar questions will be more likely to find it.

Good luck.
