My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Ohio
I received my security deposit refund check 34 days after returning possession of my residence.
The revised code allows for 30 days.
I have not opened the postmarked (2 days late) envelope containing the check.
Clearly they are in violation of the pertinent revised code.
The LP, from Pennsylvania, owns many large communities in the Columbus, Ohio area.
Should I draft my own demand letter for double damages?
Should I try to find a hungry attorney?
I'm also unsure of whether or not I should have received interest. (The security deposit was exactly one month's rent, in franklin county) is the interest only on an amount in excess of a month's rent?
If interest is due, how many others have not received any? Is there a pattern of willful non-compliance? Class action?
Meh, better call Saul.
