garib ji and sampada ji
Thanks a lot for your responses.
The apartment was in no lesser condition as it was initially when I moved in. I made sure everything was nice and clean. I even spoke with the lady from the property management to make sure things were good and she said its all good and my deposit check was in the mail. But today when I opened the mail, it was a bill not the check. I am thinking of filing for small claim at the local courthouse. Are there any negative impacts of doing so?.. I understand we should fight for justice but is it gonna be worth it or am I better off just paying $223 and calling it a bad luck :(

please suggest
