re: Renter's refund of deposit

Research the laws. Depending on the state a landlord may be required to do very specific things in order to keep a deposit.
I got a deposit returned in full because of this. He probably had an argument for keeping a very small portion of my deposit, but he forfeited that right by not following the law.

In my state a tenant can sue for treble damages if a landlord improperly keeps a deposit. He might want to check the laws in his jurisdiction.

The day of move out send a forwarding address in writing, if possible do a walk with him. If not, document like crazy (honestly do both in case ge tries to target something you didn’t address on the walk)
On the 30th day after, if you haven’t received an itemized list, send your demand letter quoting the LA law… it’s pretty easy
If still no luck, small claims
