    Arrow Ex-Roommate Won't Return My Share Of The Security Deposit

    This message is regarding an apartment in Indiana. I moved out of my apartment complex at the end of July. In late August, I received a notice that one of my old roommates would be receiving the remainder of our security deposit in a check. This was done because we paid with one check. For the past two or three weeks, I have been trying to contact her regarding me and my sister's portion of the refund. No response until I sent her a message saying I was going to involve my parents. Now, she is saying that she is keeping the money because she and my other roommate say that I ruined a crockpot, some pans, they purchased cleaning supplies for all year, etc. None of which is true. I want my money back because it is nearly $600. What can I do???

    Default Small Claims Court.

    With all due respect, issues such as this tend to sever friendship ties.

    I'd highly recommend that you take your ex-roommate to Small Claims Court. The most prevalent issue with this would be documentation...

    Do you have a receipt for the monies that you contributed?
