Re: tentant landlord problems
You should go to small claims court and sue the landlord for return of your money.
Re: tentant landlord problems
I would sue this joker in small claims court. You can do this without a lawyer. Get the forms from the Justice Court precinct where the rental property is located or where the landlord has his place of business. You'll have to pay a court filing fee and a process server.
