    Wow - you waited all of 1 hour and 23 minutes. If your need for help is that urgent, pick up a phone and hire a lawyer.

    If your lease says you paid a $920 deposit and you are entitled to its return, make a small claims case against your landlord for its return.

    They accepted assignment of your lease. Let them try to convince the court that they owe you less because they failed to collect the full amount from the former landlord, or bring a cross-claim against the former landlord for indemnification.
