Laure_boi,

If you ahve proof that they didn't inform you for about 2-4 mth and they only talked to you after you made the call, you are in good shape.

Landlord must inform or return the deposit wihtin 30 days of vacency of your apartment. If they took some away from your deposit then they have to send the bill and you have the right to request for that.

But, please be prepared before going to court regarding rental laws of your areas especially regarding those issues that you are trying to talk about. If your landlord is white..  and judge is white it's hard.. really we say there will be justice but I have herd such many cases where there was discrimination, since we are immigrant, less knowledge and welath to back up its hard.

Anyways good luck !
