    Thank you again. I have my email correspondence to the management company where I showed pictures of the mold and with the LL's permission, I was allowed to move out ASAP with no need for 30 days notice. And I will also have a old tenant who brought the LL to court for her deposit, because she was charged too much for damages. The court awarded her half the deposit back as she had the estimates within 21 days. I am waiting for a few more days to see if they will come up with more charges for the mold issues on me, if not I will file the claim. Besides my previous LL will be giving me a copy of my deposit return and a letter stating that I was a good tenant and returned his place back clean. I hope I get at least my original deposit, which is all I care. But because the LL is so greedy and in my believe has acted in bad faith, I would like to sue them for triple damages. Thank you everyone for the kind advices and help in understanding my situation.

    Guess what? I send a certified mail to the management company on the 22nd day demanding a full refund of my deposit. Today that certified mail got returned. They did not even want to accept a certified mail from me! So I think I stand a better chance that the management company/ LL acted in BAD FAITH! I think I have followed the law to my best here. Please advice.

    If I were in your position I would go to the courthouse on Monday and file a lawsuit for the return of the deposit.
