Or that, if you win the claim, the landlord pays your court costs

Court costs are one thing. Attorney's fees are another. I haven't gone back and read the statutes governing security deposits in over a year. I had a case involving a security deposit among other things. I think it does provide for attorney's fees. You may not be able to find an attorney willing to take it on contingency and have to front the money. As Teddy has pointed out, that's not always easy. In fact, getting a judgment is the easiest thing about collection work. Getting the money is the hardest.

If you go pro se, I pray you have an understanding judge if its not small claims.
