For this an attorney would be way too expensive, so I would suggest that you file an official landlord complaint through the RPA. The fees are very reasonable, and if nothing else you will have a real Rent Deposit Expert look over the charges to confirm or dispute the charges to your deposit. The RPA uses a process of Mediation and the best part is that the results are attached to a public record, so if your landlord fails to be reasonable, future prospective tenants will know. The fee is $35 to file, here’s the link: File Landlord Complaint
