Case of the Week: 7/7/06

County: Ohio
Age: 76

Our client had to leave her apartment due to medical reasons. She had paid her rent to the end of the lease agreement and the landlord agreed to return her security deposit. Our client waited for months without seeing the deposit. The landlord claimed she sent the deposit out and that there was probably a delay with the hospital mail. However, my client received her deposits from her electric and cable companys. I sent the landlord a letter demanding she remit my client's deposit of $139. Two days after the landlord got my letter, the deposit was delivered to our client via UPS.
