Do I get my pet deposit back? I did not even have a pet?!?

I would think that you would be able to get your money back unless there was something specifically worded that you couldn't.  You never owned a pet and never signed anything, so I don't see what right they have to hold your money.  Some apartments you literally have to fight to get deposits back.  I had an apartment once, paid my pet deposit, and all I owned was a cat.  The deal with mine was that I got my deposit back upon leaving as long as there was no damage caused by the pet.  When I did move out, my apartment actually looked better than when I moved in but the landlord claimed damage that didn't even exist.  Long story short, I had to really show my a$$ and make a royal nuisance of myself, but I got my money back.

Your deposit would have transferred over to the new leaseholder, the current owner.  He is responsible for the deposit.  Make sure you keep receipts and copies of checks that show what you paid.

Keep the deposit or go to small claims court.

She's already shown that she cannot be trusted if she gave you a bad ck.  If you call her at all, It should be to let her know that you will not accept another personal ck for return of deposit. Request that she give you a certified ck or money order.\n\nAfter the 45 day, just take her to court, let them deal with her as she has already shown a lack of respect to you by neglecting her obligations as your landlord.

Different states have different laws. I doubt you would get a judge to hear a case on it. You'd be better off asking the new owner to return the dog & pay the amount of what a pup would have sold for.

I would have to say that you have faries in your house! Really!  I know this sounds crazy but it's true.  You need to give a fairy offering of milk and honey or something shiney other than money.  Then ask the fairies to bring back your items that you cannot find or the things that are missing. Fairies love shiney objects and love to play tricks on humans. Take this information for what it's worth or ignore it. \nHave a great day and I hope you get your stuff back\nBlessed Be!

Time to get serious about the situation.  You have a contract and she has voided the contract with the bad check so she is out.  Did she tell you in advance about the bank problem?  If no then she is a con-artist and she will promise to pay in a few days and there will always be delays, stories etc.  She is bad news and you don't need to support her.   Kick her out asap and let someone else be duped by her.  Trust me I am in a similar business and I have heard every sort of excuse and sob story.  Don't give her any more time.  Go through a legal avenue so you son't have to listen to her stories first hand and fel sorry for her.  The next landlord will get the same bad business.

It all depends on who you're renting from.  I would not pay a pet fee without seeing everything in writing.  Yes, they do charge that and even more for pet fees.  Do you have to pay a non-refundable deposit for you and your friend?  Make sure it's all in writing.

First of all, you need to write a letter to your friend to her last known address, stating that it has been 7 months since you left (insert name) with me to take care of.  In that time, I have not heard from you or received any monetary support for your horse.  For this reason, I am giving you until (insert a date and a time) to come and retrieve your horse.  \n\nMail this letter CERTIFIED and keep a copy and attach the return receipt to the letter.  When the date comes and goes, contact the Justice Court to obtain a Civil Lawsuit form and pay the low fee to have her served.  Civil statutes may be different in your state in regards to the maximum allowed amount you can sue for, but you can include everything you have spent on the horse, as well as the fee for having her served.\n\nSince this is a Civil issue, the police cannot help you with this.  \n\nThe local Humane Society will not be able to help you either as they do not have any say in the law.\n\nI feel for you and I hope it all works out!

Hello,\n\nWell, I am not sure if it is the owner's responisibilty to disclose this information. Maybe it is up to you to ask all these questions.\n\nI searched under California Coastal Rental Disclosures and could not find anything at all. Not even somthing about PETS having to come in or out of the home. \n\nI would recommend you contact the BBB either online or on the phone about this issue.\n\nSorry. Sorry your 2.5 month old baby was bit. I would not be happy at all.\n\nHope this helps you.............................................   :-(

As one attorney always told where is the foal? If this has hurt your credit, or damaged you from consideration for the new rental unit, you may have a case and my suggestion is to contact a an attorney who knows real estate law.\n\nGood luck

Yes, you can first give notice to the owner of the problem. I would give 10 day, then tell them this is stressful for you, causing you depression, fear, and anything else you are experiencing.  Then tell them if this situation can not be stopped you will be moving on ___________date and expect your security deposit back with references.  Of couse, the state law would need to be looked up just to be sure.  Go to Tenant Landlord Law for ___________state.?

Keep your pet and find another partner.\n\nYour pet won't cheat on you or ask you for money!

You're right, unless it's in writing there's not much more you can do.  And if there is something else, it'll probably end up costing you more tyring to do something about it, than what you've already paid!  Needless to say, it wont be worth it!   So you can either continue feeling bad and mad about it or move forward and learn from it!    And remembering next time.... "the only way you can get screwed, is if you let them"    I would just put my focus and energy on the future.  Are they worth getting you down?    \n\nBy the way, did you guy give a rent deposit when you first moved in? Well, If you did, it might be worth trying to get it back.  By making sure the apartment is spotless and painted!  The cleaner the unit, the less the take out for the clean up!

you can enter the apartment address into your local property tax website and get the owners name.  Or, contact your old landlord and see what the deal is.  To protect yourself you could put your rent money in an esscrow account and not touch it.  This shows your good faith, that you were setting aside the money, so they can't come back and say you were at fault. \n\nIt's strange the new owner hasn't contacted you.

First check your lease - if there's any mention of that you can be evicted for ANY infraction, then you've got a hard road ahead of you. If there's no mention of it, speak to your landlord and let him/her know that it was a mistake and that you have paperwork to prove it.\n\nGood luck!

If your area has a 14 day rule...that is the standard.  I can have you sign a contract saying you are my slave, but slavery is illegal, hence it wouldn't be a valid contract.  I would make one more attempt at asking the pet dealer for your money back....and then i'd sue him in small claims court.
