I'm dealing with a situation in Nevada and need some guidance.

landlord keeping entire security deposit. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 1 years. My monthly rent is $1,438. I have a written lease.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Anyone else notice that companies respond much faster when you CC the state AG or include 'CFPB complaint pending' in your letter? It's like a magic phrase. They go from 'we'll look into it' to 'let's resolve this today.'
