Do you have written proof that you gave the landlord your forwarding address?
I have written proof in the form of the written civ code 1950.5, that if a landlord does not have a forwarding address that they are to send it to the last known address, (aka, that apt we rented from the landlord in question) if it up to the tenant to make sure that they get their mail forwarded thorugh a change of address through the post office, which i have proof we did, in the form of an e-mail confirming the forwarding request and through a letter sent by the post office again confirming the forwarding.
These aren't what is in question, If someone comes along and can tell me if the evidence i have can constitute as bad faith and if not, any idea why? what exactlyl do i have to do to prove bad faith, meaning how can one show that bad faith was infact used in not returning the sceurity deposit, or in this case why the landlord did not try to attempt to mail this "bill" saying we still owe a a large amount of money.
(if i was a landlord and thought i was justified in the charges i had to pay and that there was excess damage caused by a teanat i would not brush off $2400 as a loss. Thats like saying it is ok if someone doesn't pay month for the month and to not worry about it.
