LL claiming I deposited security deposit

r/

Location: MA

It’s been over 30 days since my end of tenancy and my LL is claiming that they sent the security deposit via mail to my forwarding address and that I already deposited it. I never received any check. What are my options?

    You have no idea who got the check or deposited it? Is mail to your forwarding address secure? Were there co-tenants who may have been involved?

    Have you asked landlord for a copy of the canceled check so you can try to see what happened?

    Beyond that your option would be to sue landlord. Obviously if he comes to that suit with a canceled check your position would be bad.
