zowie Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I live in texas, rented a duplex for over a year. always paid rent on time. gave over a 30 day notice. it has been 45 days now and they have not returned my desposit nor sent me anything, and i have been calling them.I sent my 30 day notice CCMR. i just sent them a letter (CMRR) giving them 5 days to return my deposit or i was taking them to small claims court.in texas the law is that if they don't return your deposit or send you an itemized statement within 30 days you can sue for 3 times amount of deposit, attorney's fees,and $ 100.00 Statutory fee for something.I don't think they are gonna return it. Should i get an attorney or is this something i can do on my own?Thanks in advance for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someonesomewhere Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Small claims is generally very easy DIY stuff. Call the courthouse, play dumb, ask for help, and see how much info they'll give ya.Since you can sue for lawyer fees, contact a consumer lawyer at either naca.net or myfaircredit.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
