Misappropriation of security deposit.

If I understand your question, you just moved in and paid security deposit. You have not gotten a receipt for that, yes ? There is no law requiring the same, that I am aware of. Two things, one your lease should set forth the amount of security deposit you were to pay. THAT would act as a receipt, and two, if you paid by check, THAT would act as a receipt. Nothing needs to be done, until you move out, and provide a forwarding address. Good luck.

Ohio law, Section 5321.16 says: Any deduction from the security deposit shall be itemized and identified by the landlord in a written notice delivered to the tenant together with the amount due, within thirty days after termination of the rental agreement and delivery of possession. The tenant shall provide the landlord in writing with a forwarding address or new address to which the written notice and amount due from the landlord may be sent. If the tenant fails to provide the landlord with the forwarding or new address as required, the tenant shall not be entitled to damages or attorneys fees. If the landlord fails to comply, the tenant may recover the property and money due him, together with damages in an amount equal to the amount wrongfully withheld, and reasonable attorneys fees.
