Anyone have tips on how to get your security deposit returned? My landlord said last month that returns are mailed Oct 1, but I still haven’t received mine, and they’re not answering phone calls, emails, or texts...

Yeah they’re legally required to return it within 30 days of your lease, or they’re subject to punitive damages at 3x the monthly rent. You can contact a lawyer - it helps if you have it in writing that you had requested the deposit return.

This is assuming that they have your updated address and everything.

When my landlord tried to withhold security for reasons they’re legally not allowed to, I contacted the Boston housing authority and they helped me out big time. They had me write a letter and instructed me to send via certified mail so I would be able to have receipt that it was received by the landlord. They also provided me with language and how to structure the note - including a demand that the money be returned in full within 5 business days or legal action would be taken (including the 3x amount option). Money was returned immediately.

thank you all! my dad is a lawyer, so i just sent him all the documents i signed in the beginning (lease, pet addendum, apartment condition statement) as well as screenshots of correspondence about the return address for the deposit, so i’m hoping a stern email from him will be enough motivation. if not, will try the housing authority. 😁

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?
