My sublet ended at the end of August. The subletter told me that she would mail me my deposit check. After a month and a half of waiting, I emailed her again, and she said that she was having some financial trouble, so she would send a postdated check within the week. I still have not received anything from her. What is the best way to deal with this situation?

Send her a professional looking typed letter stating that you have complied with the rental agreement. You left the place in good condition and you have pictures to prove it. You also have witnesses to verify all of this. State that according to the law she should have had your deposit returned already. You have spoken to a lawyer and will be retaining them if the check has not arrived within 1 week.
Mail this certified so they have to sign for it.
I did this once and had my check within days :)
Make sure that if you are not good at writing a professional sounding letter to have someone help you, it will make a difference.

Looks like small claims court. Have a copy of your lease with the amount of the deposit on it. She probably doesn't have the money or else I'm sure she'd give it to you. Good luck.

How well do you know this person? How many times have you emailed her? From your question it looks like just once?
If you know this person well you might just want to call her. Do you have mutual friends, ie do you have roommates who became friends with her? Perhaps they can gently remind her that she needs to pay you back.
If she's having financial trouble, perhaps you could set a monthly amount for her to pay you back? Did you have a written contract at all?
Good luck.

Write a certified letter and threaten to file small claims court suit. Many states have speical court for landlord/tenant.

Small claims court. This is one of the cases where you can probably collect, if she has a deposit with the owner. When you get your judgment you can attach or garnishee her deposit.
