As per my tenancy agreement, there is a 60 days deadline to return the deposit. It's now been 67 days. I've called the management company every day since the deadline is past but didn't get a satisfactory answer.

The landlord is required to comply with the contract just as you were. I hope you left the apartment clean and in good repair absent normal wear and tear. I would wait a few more days and if they haven't sent the downpayment, bring it to local small claims court. I also hope you took pictures just before you left, because they will claim that you had damaged something.
