Cindy, In the state of Ohio, it is LAW that the landlord is REQUIRED to send you a security deposit breakdown letter(and a check if applicable), within 30 days of the vacate date. They failed to do this. I would get a lawyer and discuss the possibility of suing the company over this. Their negligence in not promptly sending you that letter within 30 days gives you the right to be able to at least attempt a lawsuit for at least double your deposit. I'm not positive on the exact figures, but I would absolutely get a lawyer, you have many options simply due to their negligence in doing a final suite walkthrough. Also, for future reference if you move out of the place you're currently residing in, you have the right to request a walk-through WITH the manager and yourself there. Also, upon move in and move out of anywhere you go, TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES. That way, come move out, if they are claiming that there are damages when you know and can prove that there aren't, you can easily win the case in small claims court. Good luck
