A reader writes that he has moved out with less than 30 days notice but with the landlord’s approval. He was told he would get his security deposit back but has not received it. He said:
Three months later, after several reminders, the landlord is saying he will not be sending our deposits to us, as we did not give him 30 days notice and he has yet to rent the apartment. (Presumably because he is asking for a ludicrous amount.) My question is, if we never signed the new lease, would we still be held to the 30 days notice clause? And does his previously stated intention to pay help us at all?
Does the landlord owe this renter his security deposit?

There is not enough info here to comment on whether or not you are entitled a deposit back. Depend on how the lease was written, and how you made your gave your 30 day notice.
