Report Violation

Of course you can take him to court, even though you don’t have a lease agreement. But keep in mind deposits are closely regulated. Meaning that the landlord has right to keep the deposit until after you move out that way he can use the money to fix things that were damaged or left dirty by you. Most State Rental Laws will give the landlord 30 days to return the deposit or to account for it.

Report Violation

Why not give him a 30 day notice? That should allow you to get your deposit back. I imagine you can handle another month.
