Filing in court for non payment

Ask them if it is in the mail and if they realize that 21 days were up yesterday. Ask when it will be in the mail. If they won't tell you, be patient or sue - your choice.

They have to mail it back after 21 days. It takes up to a week to get it in the mail. Your recourse is to go to Small Claims Court and sue. If landlord does not send you a letter explaining what charges she is deducting you can sue her for double damages.

Send her a certified letter giving her 48 hours to return the full deposit. She's lost her chance to keep any of it. File in small claims court when she refuses to pay. Bring proof the certified letter was delivered to court along with whatever other correspondences you can. Be prepared for the landlady to then have a list of reasons of what you damaged and why she owes you nothing. Remind the judge that she refused to produce that list in the legal time frame and that you do not agree with the items on there. Should be open and shut for you.
