If, however, your landlord refuses to return your security deposit because, for example, your landlord says that you failed to pay rent or damaged the apartment, you must generally go to Small Claims Court to resolve the dispute.
In New York 5 Page 9 City, 30 days notice is required, rather than one month. Landlords do not need to explain why the tenancy is being terminated, they only need to provide notice that it is, and that refusal to vacate will lead to eviction proceedings.
Small claims courts can award judgments no higher than $5,000. In order to recover a larger sum, you will have to bring your suit in civil court. If you seek to recover your rent security deposit, note that the landlord is entitled to withhold a sum to cover any unpaid rent and/or tenant-caused damage to the apartment.
At the beginning of their tenancy, all tenants can be required to give their landlord a security deposit, but it is limited to no more than one months rent. The one-month limit means that a landlord cannot ask for last months rent and a security deposit.
When the lease is renewed at a higher rental amount, or the rent is increased during the term of the lease, the owner is entitled to collect additional money from the tenant to bring the security deposit up to the new monthly rent.
