Security Deposit received late

[Yvsunshine]

I am not sure what to do next… I hadn’t received my security deposit within the allowed 21 days and I sent my ex-landlord a certified letter that I wanted my deposit back and I knew the consequences she could face if not returned according to the law. She called me the next day and left a very mean message. She then postmarked the letter the next day. I received $700 out of a $1700 deposit and she sent an itemized statement with no receipts. Some of the money that she took out I don’t believe is even allowed. What should I do next??

open a case in the small claims court (8950 Clairemont Mesa Blvd)

pay for the sheriff or a process-server to serve the notice on the landlord

hope she coughs up some more of your deposit without going to court

Someone knowledgeable about such things told me the following recently:

If you sue someone in small claims court and win (either the judge rules in your favor or the defendant is a no-show), and the defendant doesn’t pay you, then they will not be able to re-register their car in the state of California until the claim is satisfied.

While I love the idea (and HOA’s should be pursuing this against deadbeats who leave upaid dues and foreclosed properties behind), I want further corroboration that this is the case. Anyone know?
