A Houston renter wrote to ‘2 Helps You’ saying she’s been waiting for months for her security deposit. Investigator Amy Davis started asking questions and that led to 25+ people getting deposit refunds.
We get a lot of questions about landlord tenant law and what landlords can and cannot legally do. A renter asked Amy Davis about her security deposit back. She says she left her duplex in good condition, and she gave 30 days' notice, but her landlord is not giving it back. What can she do? Yolanda Burnett's question about the deposit is a little different.
