Q: How can I get my money back from landlord?
I went to see a place and the landlord let me paid some money before I moved in. Then I don’t wanna move in because the landlady lied to me. The carpet is broken she said she would fix it. Later she said don’t need to fix it because the closet would cover it. They put a small old closet instead of they promised to buy a large and new one. The bed is full size but she told me is queen size. I called them and tried to talk to them. They were mean to me and hang up my phone. They didn’t refund. How can I get my money back?
A:
File your claim for a refund based on Breach of Contract in Small Claims court. Your court costs are on top of your damages. You describe it as Breach of Contract- rental deposit.
