Bizarre Legal Story Number 6

Susie finally moves out of her apartment when the lease is up. She gives proper move out notice and her forwarding address to the manager. She waits for the deposit refund. Six months passes and the refund never arrives. Susie calls the manager many times. Each time the manager ushers Susie that she will get her full deposit back in just a few weeks.

Finally, Susie goes to the attorney for students. The attorney talks to the manager but nobody appears. The attorney advises Susie filed suit in small claims court on her own without a lawyer. The filing fee is around $65. Susie sues for three times her $250 deposit, plus $300 for a total of $550. 

The hearing date is set. Susy discovers that her old manager has hired a lawyer. In a panic, Susie returns to the attorney for students. The attorney reassure Susie that she can handle this case without a lawyer. The lawyer guarantees Susie that she will know is much more more than her lawyer does about this statute. He hands her a copy of it. Most lawyers seldom deal with this kind of case, because there's no money in it according to her legal counsel.

According to her lawyer, the manager must explain to the court why Susie has had to wait so long to receive her money. If the manager cannot come up with a good reason, the money is Susie's. Susie is skeptical and asks for confirmation about being able to handle this case on her own. The attorney confirms her worries.

After the hearing, aging you and Susie returns to the attorney for students and is excited to report that she wanted all. "It was just like you said. I prove my heart. Her lawyer tried but couldn't get her to give a good reason for withholding my deposit. The judge awarded me all my money. It was great and I got my court costs too." If Susie can win a case like this, so can you.
