I got my deposit very late. I left apartment May 31, I got my deposit back today August 26 2011. I god my deposit $60 lesser than it had to be. They held it for cleaning old carpet. I lived the for four years.

Mostly it depends on your local jurisdiction if they owe you the money or not. Some areas have rental laws and after a certain period painting and carpet cleaning is an expected "expense" of doing business in the rental industry. So by law they can't charge you for it. Again that is not everywhere only specific places.

Can you give us a general area where this happened at? State or city if your comfortable with it.

First oleks, may I warn you that you are improperly using the rating system, the disagree is only if a answer is wrong.

The answer you got was correct, with what little info you provided. If You don't give us enough info, we can only give general answer.

You need to tell Califdadof3 you are sorry for your poor and improper behavior.

You may sue for your 60 dollars in small claims court.
And why did you wait so long to do something ?
