I was informed May 15th that my lease was no longer available. I had already sent a deposit for the lease. The guy said he would return my deposit within 10 business days (phone conversation).
He has still not returned the deposit. He is not ignoring or avoiding me. He supposedly does this as a part time business (leasing land from timber companies and releasing).
His “excuse” now is that people always want 60-90 days to send him lease money (we have always paid on time, so not sure how that applies to me), but when it comes time for deposits to be returned they don’t afford him the same grace period.
How long should I wait before taking action? And what action does the green screen suggest? I’ve never had any experience with small claims court. Is that an option? I don’t “need” the money, but I’m definitely not forgetting about it.
Deposit was $2400 FYI.
