Your landlord cannot deduct nor withhold your security deposit if there are no major damages made to the rental unit that is beyond normal wear and tear. The best thing you can do right now is to file a complaint against your landlord. You can file your case through small claims court or you can file a complaint with the RPA. filing a complaint with the RPA is much cheaper though. Good luck! |
