Hello,

My boyfriend and I have moved out of our apartment of 4 years for better digs. Our old landlord is telling us now that we cannot have our security deposit back because we failed to give 30 days notice (we gave about 20), “per our lease.” My problem with that is we haven’t been on a lease in over a year. The last time they offered us one we asked not to sign it as we were actively looking for a new place. That obviously didn’t happen as quickly as we thought it would.

Do I have any claim on the deposit or not?
