    Default Landlord Keeping Security Deposit Because I Left My Email Address

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

    1,500 Security deposit

    -NV Law gives landlord 30 days to either issue deposit back or send me a letter itemizing list of charges/damages

    -after 30 days with no letter from landlord tenant is entitled to full security deposit back

    -I didn't have a new address at the time of vacating so I wrote my email address down and he said he would email me with list of charges as well as let me know about any possible left over money.

    -I waited 50 days with no email from him and emailed him; landlord says to me the above law of getting full deposit back is null and void because I didn't leave him my address.

    also keep in mind he emailed me at least 10 times during the time I was living there and that he could've called me as my phone number never changed.

    So who will win?

    Are you stating that, even though you caused more than $1,500 in damages, you believe you should get a refund despite providing only an email address? Or are you stating that even though you didn't cause any damage your landlord believes he can keep the deposit because you didn't provide an address to which he could send the refund check?

    Thank you for your response: Yes, there was damage caused but not 1,500, this part doesn't really matter IMO; he made NO effort to contact me at all; my state law says no letter from him by 30 days=tenant getting full deposit back and LL can no longer charge for damages. My question only pertained to the part of the law that says landlord required to send letter and in fact my state says he should've sent the letter to last known address (as I later forwarded my mail and it would've come to me) point is he made no "good faith" attempt even though he routinely used my email address to contact me; even stating that he would "email me with list of charges" but never following through. In your opinion will his "she only left an email address" hold up in small claims court?
