Hi,

I vacated the place on October 30.Its been 40 days my landlady has not returned the security deposit.So I  send her the security deposit request letter to the address mentioned in the lease.The letter came back as its the wrong address.She is not even responding to my call and messages.The house which I vacated is been listed on the sheriff count website for foreclosure sale.Is it possible that I can get the address from there.Thanks.

Thanks alot for your help.

@Pete Woelfel Thanks,I will definitely go through this.

@Andrew B. I moved out on Oct 30,we have taken the pictures,video of the house after moving out and also sent it to her on Whatsapp,she saw all of them still no reply.As per NJ law,landlord has to return the security deposit within 30 days.The main problem is she is not even coming to collect the keys so if I file a case she can claim on this point right that I have not returned the keys.Her daughter stays in the basement.Should I return the keys to her as she was the one who used to collect the rent from us.And based on my research the house is going on foreclosure sale on NOv 16.So will this affect me ?.

@Jack Bobeck Thanks for your help,what should I do with the keys as she is not collected the keys of the house from us,suppose if I  file a case against her and if she claims that I did some damage to the property then it will be difficult for me as there is just pictures which we have after moving out of the place nothing else to prove the same.

@Jack Bobeck Thanks alot Jack,she has done this with the previous tenants as well,not returning the security deposit.

Hi,I am a student just graduated from school residing at NJ.My landlady gave me a notice of 30 days to vacate the house.We I meant me and my roomates vacated the same.I messaged her too that I have vacated the place and also cleaned it,when I asked about the security deposit she is not responding on the same.And she has not taken the keys from us.What should I do,its really a big amount she has with her.
