I moved out of my apartment on Nov 5, 2007. Since moving out, I didn’t hear from my landlord for 3 weeks. I called him to inquire about my security deposit and to remind him about the 30 day timeframe by which he had to mail it.
On Dec 3 I received a notice from the USPS notifying me of a certified letter which they attempted to deliver. I assume that this certified letter was from my landlord. I visited the post office the next day to retrieve my certified mail, however I was told that they could not find the letter. I was given the number to the office where the mail is sorted and I called them. I spoke with them several times over a week and the letter is still lost.
I notified my landlord about this on Dec 11, but have gotten no response from him.
Since I notified him about USPS losing my security deposit, is there an amount of time defined by law by which he must resend my security deposit? Or can I sue him since I never received it within 30 days in the first place?
