Why your ex-Landland hasn't responded to my calls and letter after my lease expired and you moved out of his property 212 months ago He hasn't return your security deposit Please help?
212 months is a long time to be demanding the return of the security deposit, so the statute of limitations of your state may have already expired. Assuming it hasn't, you have the right to sue you for landlord for the recovery of the security deposit. In most states the landlord must return your security deposit within 30 days of your vacation from the premises or automatically forfeit it, unless within the same period of time he submits to you an itemized bill for any damages that incurred beyond normal wear and tear.

What do you pay to the landlord before you move in?
To move into a dwelling, the landlord is going to generally ask you for the first month's rent, a security deposit, and often times the last months rent. Every state has its own rules about this and you should check with it. In South Carolina and Florida your security deposit may not exceed one month's rent. And in both states that security deposit may not be used as rent unless you and the landlord mutually agree.
