Tenant rights: Who in Hampton Roads will do a 30-minute consult and follow-up letter to my landlord for $100? (security deposit)
I anticipate that my landlord will not return my security deposit because he will be displeased when he discovers that I have invited the city inspector to my residence to investigate multiple electrical/fire and carbon monoxide hazards. The landlord was notified in a timely manner of each of these hazards but only by telephone, not in writing. Some have been corrected and others have not. I am leaving the property for other reasons than these hazards. I have done no damage to the property.
The inspector has not visited yet but I will be leaving town immediately after his inspection so I would like to do a preemptive consultation with a lawyer so that my circumstances are understood and the letter demanding my security deposit can be "turned on" with a simple phone call if necessary.
