Getting deposit back from landlord
Question
Hello there,
So I've been having a problem with my previous landlord ever since I moved out about 5 weeks ago. Basically I have haven't received my deposit of 1400 euro's back from him without any explanation. I've been to his offices twice and sent over a dozen emails.
Intially he would give excuses as to why the money hasn't been wired (e.g accounting error, on holiday or already sent and will be arriving soon) but at this stage I don't really believe him,
If anyone can advise me legally on what to do (I know in the u.k they have the Request for Return of Security Deposit application) I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
@ R. You are correct, a "Mise en Demeure" is the first step, but you may as well get a Huissier de Justice do it (because they know what to write, and how to write it, and be legally correct).
In any case, if you need to go as far as starting a judicial process they're going to have to do a new one anyway, because without a properly written one in their name they can't do anything.
