Answer:
Wow...that was really painful to read...proper English and spelling would sure help.
Most times you cannot use your security deposit as rent.It is paid in case you do damage to the property.The landlord is within his right to make you pay the monthly rent and not allow you to use your deposit instead.
well your question didnt make sense but if i understood it right and if there was no lease involved he has to give you your money back, unless of course you dmaged his property and then he can keep it for repairs.... he has 30 days to write you a letter and tell you why he isnt giving it back to you and if he doesnt then after that you can actually fight it and win....i would take it to the mattresses and dont let another lanlord give you the run around
Usually in a lease it says that you "cannot" use your security deposit to pay for your monthly rent. If you chose not to renew your lease in April for the reasons that you already brought up, then you need to pay your monthly rental payment until you leave. Here in NJ the Landlord has 30 days after you move out to return your security deposit. The Landlord also has the right to keep some or all the security deposit if you do not leave the apartment in "good" condition as he gave it to you when you first moved in.
