My question involves a security deposit in the State of: Georgia
4 of us A, B, C and D rented an apartment and paid a security deposit which was equally divided.
After the lease got over we all moved to different apartments. While moving they cleaned the apartment to avoid any deductions without any professional help. Person A was the primary lease holder and he received the security deposit check in his name. They 3 are now together and trying to charge me $60 for not cleaning the apartment. It is to be noted that there was no fine imposed on our apartment. We had some common items which we divided and settled prices for those items too. I did not receive any common item and to make it worse they are reducing the prices of those items as well.
They have been using emails as a medium of venting their anger on me. This has provoked me to take legal action in addition to their not releasing my deposit to me.
I do not want to drag them into court but it seems that will be the last resort. I want your help to know if I have a small claim case?
