I moved from my former apartment 2 months ago and was promised by the Crossways Apartments employee that I would be reimbursed for my initial security deposit of $400. Of my final day of residence I once again asked about how I would obtain this deposit and I was instructed to leave my keys along with my new address in the old apartment. Last Friday I contacted Liz by phone and left a message. She sent a text reply that said she would have their bookkeeper cut a check and would put it in the mail directly. No check has arrived to date. I suspect I am in need to legal assistance and would appreciate any help you can give. I am a senior living on a small pension.
