How many of you guys never got your security deposit back through no fault of your own, and how many of you guys successfully received your security deposit back without any hassles?
I paid about 1.5 months of the rent as security deposit 2.5 years ago and I'll be moving to a new place on the 18th, I've notified the landlord of the move on the 21st of last month. Now I'm trying to decide whether I should pay the partial rent of this month and hope the landlord will do the right thing and return my security deposit minus a reasonable cleaning fee or should I just leave it to him to take the rent out of the security deposit.
On my notice to vacate the apartment I did request that he take the rent out of the security deposit, but he replied asking that I pay the partial rent of the month without any mention to my security deposit. I just want to take care of this thing without too much trouble ie. taking him to small claims court.
What do you guys think I should do? How many of you had a honest landlord that returned your security deposit without any hassles?
