Landlord woes

A landlord ducking and diving. Owes me deposit which he promised to pay when i move out. Still have the original receipt.Moved out in Dec 2005.But has been giving me lame excuses and justifications since then. Who can I contact for help. What recourse do I have. It's the principle more than just the money. People like this bring locals in disrepute.

What the heck have you been waiting for, partner? well go to police and they will guide you right. Be aware of the fact that you are gonna get your money back in very small installments per month. I hope you wouldn't have to leave the country before they finish.

you probably waited too long.

They do have a statute of limitations here. Go to the small claims court on C-ring road (across from La Cigale) and talk to the receptionist. You can file a claim there if it's not too late. Another idea is to go to the rental dispute mediation center at Muntaza Park. they can offer advice as well.

You've waited over 4yrs?

You deserve to lose it.

If you have a receipt, and it says that he owes you a deposit, tell him that you are going to the police..if that doesnt scare him.. go to the police... they are very helpful ...
