Security deposit being held with no lease

"THank you all for the advice, I'm taking him to court. "


You have two children and rely on that money, have major financial issues and can afford an attorney?

Why don't you simply take the rental unit for a month, give the appropriate written notice to terminate a month to month tenancy and find a less expensive place?

Small claims court doesn't require an attorney

That is true but the OP has already written this:

"VERBAL contracts don't hold up in court so I guess I will get a lawyer"

In hindsight it might be beneficial if they reviewed their standing with an attorney familiar with month to month tenancies so that verbal leases can be explained to them.

I DO LOVE it when they ask for advice, then argue with you because it is not what they wanted to be told!
