Failure to Return: If the landlord does not refund the entire deposit, the landlord, within 35 days after termination of the tenancy, must provide the tenant with an itemized list of amounts withheld.

Even if he evicts them for failure to pay, it might take him 2-3 months to evict.

Would love to hear anybody's successes and failures in this area.

Failure is not an event.

I've listened to successes, failures, and the in betweens and an ready for my shot.I currently work as a project manager, full-time, for a large mechanical contractor doing commercial and industrial piping and sheetmetal.  

Complaints or findings that are made of public record, reports or deficiencies and demands for repair and failure to comply.

Some people have succeeded, but not without a lot of risk and not without a lot of failures.

Most times it was due to a recent device (outlet / light fixture) change and a connection wasn't tightened good enough that came loose over time, or a device failure.

:) But that $125 seems so thin to me, but that's my past failures coming back to me ;). 

The previous owner of my property wrote the lease we are using and it states, $200 for posting a notice of failure to pay rent, and also a late fee of $5 every day rent is late, with no apparent cap listed.
