Start by going back to the corportae office and fax them a letter along with a copy of your deposit receipt. You may need proof that the money order was cahed, see if the bank can help with that. (There is a chance the deposit never did get there or cashed and thet is why there is no record.)
If you still get nowhere, go to the housing athority and see what they can do. Yes, you can also go to small claims court... but I would try to get the apartment complex to pay for your court fees and time off work too.. although you will probably just get the $150.
Good luck

This is a civil matter and the police will not become involved. You can file a small claims action against the apartment complex owners. Sometimes the city or county in which you live has an agency that will help handle complains against landlords. Make a couple of calls before you try the small claims thing. Experience would suggest that these type of things are a stall, thinking that you will forget about it. Make it very clear that it is going to cost them much more than $150 in their time to mess around with you. Do not give up!!

well that stub will prove cuz they can do a trace on that. I would call the police and everything i have 2 do to get my money back. If you go 2 small claims court they have pay for all court costs and then some and your stress. I hate apartments places like that. Good thing u didnt get approved. If I was you i would keep calling them and bugging them but where ever you got that money order from call and ask them how u get a trace on that, cuz when they find out it was cashed they r assed the f out!!!!

The police are not collection agents.
Send a certified letter to both the local and corporate office with proof of your payment. Tell them that if you do not have your deposit refund in your hands within 7 days, you will file in small claims court and report them to the attorney general.

If it were me, I would get in touch with the better business bureau.
I would check out my options with a lawyer.
Most lawyers give free consultation on the first visit.
If they can do anything to get your money back plus pain and suffering , they might take your case for free. everyone hates to be ripped off.
These are the types of people who rip people off without a gun.

in the experience that your daughter has a service canine I guess she has get entry to to three aspects that have printouts on the regulation. i think of service animals are lined under human beings with incapacity Act and if she can circulate to in one day, the canine can. yet i might verify with an business enterprise or government enterprise that bargains with particular skills, or the enterprise that offered the canine. and that i might think of la could be between the places that would desire to have regulations extra friendly to the disabled, yet after all do no longer in elementary terms take the word of the 1st guy or woman on the apartment who accosts you. the challenge of yet another tenant with hypersensitive reactions does modern-day the main important situation, for the reason which you're then coping with competing scientific themes. yet there could be regulations coping with service animals that override leases, discover it in print until now taking every physique's word for it, you are going to be able to compliment it in print to furnish on your landlord.

I think you should send them a copy of the money order along with anything you signed when you gave them the money (I hope you did sign something and kept it) and demand your money back, you can send them a demand letter.

Lawsuit.
Costs about 50 bucks for a small claims...then again, you might want to hire a lawyer and have them put their charges on it too.
That will make them think twice about pulling that again.
