I live in New york and my previous landlord intends to keep my deposit as he said on the day i moved out of his apartment.I am still giving him the 30 days reasonable time to pay me back my security deposit.
After the 30 days is it wise to send him a letter stating
"since you did not send me anything in mail you the landlord have lost your right to deduct anything from the security deposit and have kept it in bad faith and should return it immediately within 10 days from the date of this letter after which i shall retain an attorney to assist me in recovering and you shall be held liable for return of my security deposit , and court and attorney fees "
Or should i call the attorney general's office and file a complain.
