Is there any state or county department I should call to get more information or to talk to about this?

The landlord has 14 days after a tenant moves out to return a deposit, or give a written explanation of why it (or any part of it) was not refunded. If a landlord does not comply, the full amount of the deposit must be refunded to the tenant, regardless of any claims by the landlord that the tenant is not entitled to a refund.

This is great. Forget about the other issues. Just reference this part of the Housing Prtection Act I linked above.

What is the date on the check or envelope?

Tell him about his mistake. If that doesn't work then supper glue his door shut or break a key in his locks...Next time, take pictures when you move in and pictures when you move out. Make sure he knows this, make sure you know how much you expect to get.

No problem.
It seems they went over the 14 day limit. But I wonder if they tried to charge you for the extra days in order to come in under the limit. What is the actual date on the check, although I'd imagine the postmark would be more important?

I moved out, and I got charged 500 bucks for damages to the carpet, that was there before I was. I emailed the managers, and they ignored me.
Can someone please help me out?
Is it possible to request that I get to go into my former apartment and see if the carpet was indeed repaired?
I know that I didn't make those damages, but I do know that the managers took pictures before I left, is it possible to request that I have those pictures?
Thanks a lot for any help!

I rented an apartment for the summer and paid $350 for the damage deposit. I was told $50 would be withheld for the mandatory carpet steam cleaning and however much my water/sewer/trash bill was. That's cool, whatever.
I'm surprised they are even allowed to do that. I always thought they could not charge you for normal wear and tear. Perhaps this depends on which state you reside. Look up your renters rights in your state.
Why not state your case as well as ask them to provide a receipt for the steam cleaning? $50 seems mighty low for steam cleaning, let alone the water/sewer/trash bill.
