I haven't done anything yet, as I am not even sure how to proceed. The paper we received didn't tell us what we needed to do. It said we should contact a bankrupty attorney, but we're not a creditor - we just want our money back...so I don't know how they expect us to afford a BK attorney for this.
Wow - that's a real shame. I have looked into BK myself at one point, but luckily, we were able to avoid it (at least, for the time being). I think BK is a great alternative for people in a bad situation but I also think it's really screwed up to allow these people to keep our security deposit! I know they're struggling, and we had to rush to find somewhere else to live because of it (and believe me, we barely get by ourselves). We had to put down $6,000 to move into another rental and this $2,600 our prior landlord had was alot of money to us.
What a shame - thanks for your help.
