Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: Landord holding Security Deposit without any reasons

You can go to small claims court & file a complaint on your own behalf against the landlord. By law, the landlord must give you notice within 30 day of you moving as to what damages are in the apartment. If he fails to do this, the court may grant you back double the amount of security deposit.

If the matter is in Bergen County, call me for help.

Re: Landord holding Security Deposit without any reasons

The landlord is required to either return the security deposit to you within 30 days or send you notice why he is sending you less than the full deposit, itemizing the damage he is claiming you caused. If the landlord fails to contact you within the 30 days, you may be entitled to double your security deposit and the landlord may have to pay your attorney's fees. There are other regulations that the landlord must comply with. You should seek the advice of an attorney.
