Landlord does not refund the deposit.
I am staying in jersey city,New Jersey. I had rented an apartment before 5 months and me and landlord had just verbal agreement. The verbal agreement was that when I leave the house I would get my deposit back. I don't have anything in writing that would prove that I had paid for the deposit. I used to pay the rent in cash so I don't have records of it also.
Now the landlord says that you will get the deposit after 2 months since he has used my deposit for some other purpose( I BET U THT sON OF STINKY used my money for some other purpose :mad: )
Please advice on what should I do. I am an international student and cannot afford to loose the deposit. Every night he comes and yells @ me. Is there anyway I could avoid this situation and get my deposit back.
