NY, Onondaga county. I presented a small claims case back in mid December, for a security deposit. I cited a code which stated that the landlord had 21 days to inform me of intent to withhold any or all of my deposit. I was able to show proof of the deposit and that the landlord informed me of his intent to withhold, on the 22nd day, when I sent a text reminding him of where he could send my deposit. The judge said he needed to go over the case and that we would have a decision within a month. A decision has yet to be made. The court date was 12/12/17, I called the court on 1/22/18 and on 2/22/18. Both times I was told a decision has not been made. What I'm wondering is, is there a time limit a judge has to make a decision on a small claims case? Is there a motion I can submit to expedite the process. Or do I have to wait indefinitely, until he decides to deliberate. I appreciate any insight you have.
