How to get my deposit back??

By Anikita

 
This is Ankita here. I  moved to San francisco city from 1st May. I had an email communication with the lady that i  need accomodation for 2 or 2 and half months and thne i would be going back to India. I cannot come on the lease too.Lady agreed. During our Verbal communication she mentioned of Deposit being one more rent $495 and will be refunded to me at the time i will be moving out. Earlier they did mention that i do not need to find a replacement to get my deposit back.
 
The lady  has now changed her mind and is requesting me to find a replacement in place of me to get my deposit back. She did not mention to me till last week. though i m trying to find some girl in place of me she rejects mentioning her criterias.
 
I hav written mail communication of my notice to her (lady on lease) but do not have anything with respect to deposit unfortunately.
 
I will be leaving this country this Friday. Kindly suggest some way how can i get my deposit back.
 
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
–Thanks

Your landlord is required to comply with the deposit refund law. In California, your landlord will need to provide a refund within 21 days of move out, OR provide a statement showing you how the money is being charged.

As for getting your money by this Friday– not a chance. The only option would be to sweet talk your landlord into refunding it at move-out. She is not required to do so. The best option for you would be to try to work out something with the landlord. Maybe, you could arrange to do some special cleaning or yard work if she agrees to give you your deposit at move-out. Looks like you will need to get creative.
