Security deposit after Hurricane Sandy.
Asked on Dec 06th, 2012 on Real Estate - New Jersey
More details to this question:
Our house was destroyed in Hurricane Sandy and our landlord refuses to give us our security deposit because she states FEMA has it frozen in the account. Is that even the law and possible?

I do not belove that FEMA can freeze any account. FEMA makes deposits into the accounts of those affected. You should have been entitled to the FEMA money allocated for relocation expenses, and temporary housing, not your landlord. If the landlord took the portion of the money allocated for your housing costs, then they are not using the FEMA money properly. Contact my office so that we may discuss this matter further
