Hello,
As per my lease in New Jersey, I provided the company with the appropriate time frame of when I would be vacating the apartment in the complex. On the appointed day, I turned over the keys to the super. As per the law they have 30 days to return all securities/ interest etc.
It is now over two months and they have failed to do so. My first email to them, I was told that they would check and get back to me, they never did. My second reminder was sent on 6/18/11, in when they now claim that the check signer will be in on 6/24 and sign the check.
Can I demand double the security without taking them to small claims court? Unfortunately, I moved out of state, so I am unable to do it myself and would like to know if I do not receive the security within one week after 6/24/11, would it be worth hiring an attorney to get the security amt doubled, and they pay all legal fees.
I have all correspondence regarding this matter to them, including their response.
