I had a question about the return of my security deposit. I moved out of my old apartment in 4 months ago without collecting my security deposit. When I left, I took my name off of the lease, and the landlord said I had to collect the security deposit from the remaining tenants (no one took my place and we left on bad terms). I have attempted to collect my security deposit giving a deadline, but my old roommates do not want to write me a check. They want to wait until everyone leaves and give me 1/4 of what is left of the deposit (the landlords are infamous for taking money out of the deposit). Am I not entitled to get the full deposit back? Especially because I moved out so long ago? And am I not entitled to get my security deposit back now?
Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
