I rented a basement apt of a house in erie colorado. I now live in boulder. The people I rented from refused to refund my safety deposit even though the actual landlord (owner of the house) said everything looked great. I want to know if I have to physically drop off the papers to file, or can I mail them? I am pretty far away from weld county clerks office.
If you are not an attorney you'll have to either personally deliver the documents to the clerk or mail the documents. I assume all small claims cases are handled by physical documents delivered to the clerk.
If you have a security deposit issue you may want to consider hiring an attorney to handle this for you, by statute the attorney's fee can be recovered from the landlord.
