I left my apartment in New Jersey last Aug. 28, 2007 and migrated to Canada as a permanent resident that same day. I fulfilled all my obligations to my landlord before i left including giving a forwarding address in Canada where the cheque can be sent.
Up to this day, December 2007, my landlord has not returned my security deposit of $800. I've made several long distance calls and sent letters from Canada but with no positive action/response from him. He reasoned out that he has personal problems (sick relative) and promised to send me the cheque once he gets over it.
At this point its impractical for me to go to New Jersey (airfare/hotel costs etc..) and personally pursue legal options thru small claims court.
Under my circumstances, what are my options in getting back my security deposit?
Appreciate inputs.
