You should all be ashamed.
If he works for a property management company, then he's got more direct experience. I sure as hell don't.

Heck, what I know is health care fraud and abuse.

That's a long way from Landlord/Tenant.

Just sitting her laughing, Clay didn't do a walk through with them and expects to see a deposit back...

I think you will be learning about small claims court on Saturday morning and without a post rental walk through, I think you're ****ed.

Big time effed. They will find a way to not give it back... or decrease it by so much that it won't be worth all the time you wasted on it.

I am not required to do a post rental walk through. Never have done it with any landlord and still got 90%+ of my deposit back.

In any case, their 30 days are up. The law is on my side, and I not only have proof that the property was in good condition (photos digitally dated), I have witnesses.

Cut n' paste the statute you posted before. Say you expect a prompt response, and sign it.

If you still get no response, you choices are to retain a lawyer or file the case yourself as I said before. The first thing the lawyer will do is do the demand letter thing again, because often people will respond to a law firm letterhead. That should cost less than one billable hr, and the demand should be for more than the deposit to pay for that bill.

If they ignore that, and if it were me, I'd file my own small claims action. Depends how comfortable you'd be doing that. Judges in small claims have very truncated procedures in which they pretty much just ask you the pertinent facts, ask for facts from the other side, then render a decision (of course, after you file the paperwork and pay court costs).
I meantime small claims sometime back. I'm not sure about Missouri, but have been advised in SC that judges there don't like lawyers involved in small claims.

When I saw this thread I thought Clay was going to sue over the movie franchise poll result.

You don't need a lawyer. You need common sense.

Hammock Parties 05-01-2019 09:18 AM
These one who sucks the peniss still haven't e-mailed me.

Sassy Squatch 05-01-2019 09:22 AM
LMAO Have you just called and asked what's up yet?

I waited 30 days and sent an e-mail.

Now I'm looking into other options since apparently they don't abide by the law and ignore their customers.

Your logical next step is to pick up a damn phone, not hire a lawyer at hundreds of dollars an hour. Jesus...


Once had a client where we did a major transaction (selling his business). After all was said and done, he called me and wanted me to call his bank to dispute a wire transfer fee they had charged him.

I politely explained that I would be happy to do that, but the wire transfer fee was less than what one-tenth of an hour (my smallest time increment for charging clients) of my time would cost him. He paused, thought about it for a second, and said he would call them. I laughingly told him I wouldn't charge him for THIS call, and he chuckled, said thanks, and went on his way.

Now pick up the ****ing phone before you make the same dumb mistake that guy wanted to make.

You don't understand who I'm dealing with.

A phone call isn't likely to get me anything.

My experience is that people who say they need a lawyer have never actually hired one before. They don’t work for free, and they charge you whether you win or lose the case. I utilize lawyers all the time for my business. If I could get around doing it, you bet your ass I would.

I think you need to be a little more patient and wait for your deposit to show up instead of looking to sue people.

It's probably somewhere in this thread but how much are we talking about?

Getting an attorney involved is going to cost a minimum of $400 to look into it and draft a demand letter.

Spending $400-1000 to get a $1,200 deposit back should be your last resort.

Anything you can do such as letters, phone calls, emails will be much more cost effective, and will probably result in an earlier resolution.
