    Post Out of Apartment and They Won't Schedule a Walkthrough for 3 Weeks

    My question involves a security deposit in the State of: Washington

    In May 08 I entered into a 6 month lease agreement and paid a security deposit in the sum of $400, half of which was non-refundable.

    When the lease was up we stayed in the apartment on a month to month basis until we could find something bigger. The end of march 09 we found a bigger apartment, when we went to pay the rent on the 30th of March we informed them that we would be moving. They said that us verbally telling them was not good enough and that they wouldn't acknowledge our notice to vacate until it was in writing.

    Thursday the 2nd we drove to their offices and left them a notice to vacate telling them we should be out of the apartment by the 10th of the month. They gave us a hard time about leaving and wanted to know why we wouldn't stick around the whole month. We told them that we wanted the moving to be done and over with. They said that people expected them to pro-rate rent for the time not there etc. We told them that we weren't even asking about that and left.

    Friday the 3rd we finished moving out and cleaning the apartment we went by the property managers and gave them the keys and scheduled a walk through for the following monday at 4pm.

    Monday at 345pm they called us and cancelled the walkthrough and told us that they would not do a walk through until the end of the month because they were busy with incoming rent and payroll until then. They were very combative about the whole situation.

    My question is can they do this? I've looked at the Washington law where it says that they must give you your deposits back within 14 days of move out.

    an update:

    We called and tried to set up a walkthrough again. This time for this friday. They still refuse to do it until it gets closer to the end of the month because they don't want to pro-rate any of the rent back. They have scheduled it for the 24th, by then they have lost all claims to the deposit, which we should have been getting all refunded anyway.
