I shared a place with my landlord, she moved a month before I moved out and never gave me her new address. She failed to give me a written statement and withheld my deposit. I am trying to send her a letter of notification of court, but she won't give me her address. I just told her I was sending a letter, and she said to scan and email it, I have to send it certified mail and get a return receipt. How do I get her address? She now lives in another state.

Just send it to her "last known address" and write "please forward if necessary......send a couple.......best case would be to send it certified "return receipt", but I don't know if the post office will automatically forward certified mail.....
Her last known address is legal for small claims purposes and you can appear in court and most likely win a default judgment very easily....just document that she purposely and willfully is hiding her current address from you....Judges hate landlords.

Do you have her phone number, you can do a reverse look up and get her address. If it hasn't been to long, you can mail it to her old address and the post office should forward it. You can email her and if need be you print out a copy of the email if you need to go to court. If you know the state she is in you can check with the phone co for the phone number. Good Luck KG

If you know the city/state where your landlord moved and if she bought a new home, call the county recorder's office & you might be able to find out if she owns property & what the address is. Some records are even online. And if the phone number you're contacting her at is her phone from home, you could try a reverse lookup at http://www.anywho.com . Good luck!

Check with the taxing authority for the property, it's probably the County Assessor (a very few states tax by town). They will have the address where they send the tax bills.
As long as you're there, you could file a Lis Pendens on the property. That way, if you get a judgement, you can turn it into a judgement lien on the property, and if she still won't pay, foreclose.
