Please start a new thread. No one wants to read two pages of old and probably irrelevant information.

Start a new thread and someone will help you.

And we have no way of telling what a SOL is unless you give us your state.

What State?

What State?

Yes. I asked him that in the other thread (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/real-estate-law/return-security-deposit-after-30-days-georgia-266780-2.html), but he must have overlooked it.

Didn't realize this was a fill in the blanks, "how good can you research" question.

Good catch, though.

I've moved your question to it's own thread.

As AK said laws vary so we need to know your general locale.

What have you done? Why have you waited so long? Why is the landlord withholding it?

Sorry, Georgia

I've merged your threads. When posting a follow-up question or info, please use the Answer options at the bottom of the page rather than the Comments.

Now please answer my questions so we can help.

Sorry, Georgia

The SOL is 4 years from when the deposit should have been returned, if the agreement is oral; 6 years if it's written.
