No but i am assuming his attorney fees will be way more then $500 for him to truly move forward with anything legal. I’d just keep it and call his bluff.
Some have legal insurance and such consult won’t cost much
Second what PM1 said. I just dealt with something like this in Florida as a tenant, where the landlord wanted to not return anything to me (unjustly). I looked up the statutes and noted that it required them to send me an itemized list through certified mail by X number of days. I waited the requisite number of days and then sent a letter signed by a friend who’s a lawyer threatening to sure if I didn’t get my money back. The landlord consulted some lawyers who basically said she had no recourse because the time has passed and paid me back the full amount (legally, she could have separately sued me for damages after returning the deposit).
To be honest though, the process to actually go through with a suit in small claims court would have been a pain in the butt and may not have been worth the time and effort for me. If she hadn’t paid me, I’m not sure how I might have proceeded (although the law was on my side)
EY1- How much were your dues?
I have all the texts, emails and (half) receipts here..

Know the laws in your state. In some cases, you have to itemize anything you deduct from the security deposit. As long as you’re clear as to why you’re deducting it, you should be fine.
