I terminated an apartment rental lease 3 and a half years ago. The landlord used my security deposit for the final month's rent. After moving out the landlord sent me a letter claiming damage. I responded with photographic proof that there was no damage, and heard nothing in response. In the subsequent time the property has been sold to new owners. Now I suddenly have received a bill from a collection agency for a claim filed 6 months ago, 3 years after I moved out. I want to fight this and am not sure whether to call a consumer, bankruptcy or real estate lawyer to deal with the collection agency.
Were you sued? Until such time you really don't need a lawyer. If you are sued then any litigation attorney or L&T attorney or Debtor/Creditor lawyer will do.
