Unreturned security depsosit/no accounting its been 54 days

By julie

I vacated a property last March 9, had it professionally cleaned and turnover to the owner/property manager.

 The 30th day after move out is April 9 but I didnt not receive or hear anything from the landlor. On April 12, I sent an email asking about the status of the deposit and my landlor asked me for my forwarding address which I provided. Pls note that I have previously provided my forwarding address before I moved out.  Not receiving or hearing anything, I sent a follow up email on April 23 to which my landlord replied that he thought his wife sent the check already. April 24, I followed up again and then I start receiving copies of receipts of repairs and claiming even non normal wear and tear and that they were not yet done with the repairs (they are selling the property).

So its 54 days now, my question is since my landlor violated the 30 days state law of accounting for security deposit, can they still claim what they are claiming and what can I do to get my deposit back?
