If the landlord fails to pay the tenant the difference between the sum
deposited, including any unpaid interest thereon, and the actual damages to the leasehold
premises caused by the tenant within thirty days after termination of the lease or surrender and
acceptance of the leasehold premises, the landlord shall be liable in assumpsit to double the
amount bywhich the sum deposited in escrow, including any unpaid interest thereon, exceeds
the actual damages to the leasehold premises caused by the tenant as determined by any
court of record or court not of record having jurisdiction in civil actions at law. The burden of
proof of actual damages caused by the tenant to the leasehold premises shall be on the
landlord.

I'll go straight to SugarHouse and put that extra cash on the roulette wheel or one hand of black jack. Get crazy.

This happened to me once. Except the SugarHouse part.

Was it a pretty straight forward deal to get the extra cash or did you have to fight for it?

Mind you, this was about 25 years ago. I had to fight--the landlord was a dick about the whole thing. Went to an arbitration hearing, new landlord was a lawyer who represented us, but that wasn't necessary. (Apparently, he also represented our neighbor from time to time who was a petty thief.) Old landlord at first refused to pay, threatened to appeal, but eventually coughed up the dough.

Ok. Wishful thinking, but I'm hoping that once I actually receive the check with a postmark past the 30 days, I'll be able to call them out on it. The law seems pretty straightforward here. Hopefully they'll realize it isn't worth the effort of sending a lawyer to a hearing over the matter (and paying me for lost time at work to attend the hearing).

*Landlord is a pretty large property manager. Company that just bought Blatstein out of the Piazza.

since they held the line and made you submit a second security deposit, I'd say go after them with both barrels. Screw 'em.

I thought so initially, but I checked traffic and everything was okay.

It was a lot closer than normal.

There's no doubt he should do this. I'm pretty sure landlords screw people out of security deposits all the time. I was forced out of the apartment (landlord sold the building, and the new owner wanted to occupy my unit) and we had 2 months rent as security deposit, and I asked if we could use that for our last month's rent, and the landlord refused.
