Most states require the landlord to provide you a refund or list of charges to your deposit within 30 days of move-out. However, in California the landlord is required to do this within 3 weeks. Therefore, your landlord was actually in violation of deposit guidlines when he told you he would return the deposit within 45 days. The good news is that this is the most common complaint received by the Rental Protection Agency, and ususally the quickest to resolve. You need to file a landlord complaint with the Rental Protection Agency. A agent like myself will help you get your money back immediately. If the landlord fails to cooperate with an RPA Agent, it will result in possible legal action. You are protected, and you have 100% right to get your full deposit refunded.
