My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: IL
Hi to sum up our issue, we recently purchased a new home and moved out. During this period we have contacted our landlord and she verbally told us to leave the keys when leaving the property. Our lease still has another 6 months on it. When we told our landlord our situation she has not said a word regarding making payments, or holding our security deposit, only regarding leaving the keys.
- As of December 24th we have cleaned the apartment and left the keys
Since then we are trying to get a hold of the landlord regarding the deposit:
Time line as follows:
- Dec 12 Landlord asked us to leave the keys after cleaning
- Dec 24th we have left the keys and left her a message
- Dec 28th called her and left her a message
- Dec 29th called her from my phone no response / Called her from my wife's she picked it up and told us that she will return our call some time not today!
- January 5th called and left her a message
I have recorded most of the messages left. I do know that we do have a lease and therefore obligations however, landlord is not making an effort nor even letting us what she wants!!! I am thinking she is either going to sue us or keep the deposit.
My question is if she sues us do we have a case or can I take her to the small claims court and get my deposit which is $2,200.
Thank you for your help!
