Deposit

By Angie

My former landlord/Boss is giving me a hard time in refunding my deposit.  He will not answer my phone calls or emails.  He called me one day after I left the apartment and told me he would be sending my deposit out in a few days.  He never did obviously and I don’t know what to do.  It has been about 23 days now and I think he only has 3o in the state of Michigan.  I cleaned the apartment from top to bottom and the apartment was in bad shape when I rented it.  I left it cleaner than what I recieved it.  The problem I’m having is that I never took pictures when I moved in or moved out.  I asked him several times for a copy of my lease and he said he would get it to me and never did.  I have nothing even showing I was there.  What should I do about this.  He was my boss also, but he gave me free rent only so I have nothing there either.  HELP?!  I deserve my deposit back and I don’t know how to go about it.  Landlords shouldn’t be able to do this to tenants.  They get away with too much.  I do have my grandparents that witnessed the apartment before and my boyfriend was there after I cleaned it and so was a few of the other tenants.  Do you think this will do?  Thanks for your help.
