Re: How to get my deposit back from renter?

The landlord is required to either return your security deposit or provide an itemization on any amounts spent within one (1) month of your move-out date. Since you state that it has been two (2) months, you will probably have to file suit in magistrate (small claims) court against the landlord.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
