Won My Small Claims Case Against Landlord – Now They Owe Me Double My Deposit & Legal Fees!
Just an update on my small claims court case against my former landlord—I won! The judge ruled in my favor, and now they owe me double my security deposit plus legal fees, totaling $2,042.
Of course, the landlord is trying to dodge full payment, claiming they only owe me the original $1,000 deposit. But the court judgment is legally binding, so I’ll be taking steps to enforce it if they don’t pay the full amount.
For anyone dealing with wrongful deposit withholdings, know your tenant rights and don’t let landlords get away with it! If they don’t comply with security deposit laws, take them to court and hold them accountable. Happy to share my experience if anyone has questions!
