This depends on whether the landlord has at least four properties for rent. Oftentimes you can take him to court yourself and win, or in the case of the latter you can file a complaint with HUD, who can then sue him on your behalf.

Yes. If a landlord later determines that you damaged his property he can take you to court.

The deposit laws are generally intended to avoid lawsuits from every landlord at the end of every tenancy.

It is unseemly that a landlord can charge a tenant for other than the items listed in the lease. You can pay them and take your landlord to landlord-tenant court for reimbursement, or you can approach a landlord-tenant advocacy to find the answer that you want.


If you want to take a landlord to court how long do you have to file against them?

If this helps any, a landlord is no different in terms of small claims or other civil court matter. If there are grounds to sue then you may do so. Check your state's Statute of Limitations laws to see how much time you have to sue a landlord or anyone else. Landlord and Tenant issues are only applicable to eviction proceedings, not small-claims court or other civil courts.
