    Explain everything as exact as you can like when and how you turned in the keys, that you made attempts to get your deposit back and cleaning you did---whatever information the Judge wants
    Basically be as prepared as possible.
    Okay, so I should take my phone records (from where I have tried to contact him), a copy of the old lease and a receipt, if I have it?

    Anything else?

    Ok, ask for one (or more) of the neighbors to sign a notarized affadavit saying there were aware you moved out on x date. Its unlkely they would need to go to court.

    But I also agree with NoHelp4U. Tell your story to the judge. Unless the landlord can show that he made an attempt to send you the deposit or the accounting within a few days of the 21 days, its will probably be moot.

    Okay, I will do that. To get a notarized letter can I just type it up and have them sign it and then take it to a notarizer, or do they have to sign it in front of a notarizer?

    They can't sign it beforehand. They need to take proof of identification and then sign it in front of the notary.
