I just got of the phone with my love and she said lets take him to court!
If I'm entitled to another $3000 + interest, I'll make time.

If I were in a similar position, I would keep any statements I make here factual, and encertain any speculation is made clear it is just that. I would keep away from anything even remotely inflammatory or angry. Even then, I'd post as little as possible - statements posted on the internet count as "written statements" in court in most jurisdictions, with all the implications thereof.

Yup, stop talking on the internet. For realz though, he is still not in compliance with the law. To simply send you a check without written justification is HIM being a complete asshat. He's required to tell you what/why he's keeping certain funds, and an honorable guy will include a breakdown with receipts and pics. The fact that he's being intentionally evasive will be clear to the judge and weigh heavily in your favor. You've essentially just one your case.
As Blaen said, everybody's experience is different, but somebody being that intentionally difficult will have no defense in front of a judge.
Wait until your blood pressure goes down, then write the letter I talked about earlier, stating their non-compliance with the law, and your request that the remainder of your deposit be returned immediately. Get the letter in the mail today. If you don't hear anything back by Tuesday afternoon, send them another letter, indicating your intent is to file suit, and give them until the following Monday. If nothing heard by COB Monday, go file on Tuesday. That's all you need to do now. This is all business now, nothing personal, nothing emotional... just business. Do it by nice and cool from here on out and the Judge will be very sympathetic.

At least in Vash's state, and all states I'm aware of. Verbally informing someone of apartment damages in these cases has slightly less legal worth than my last crap - and let me tell you, as disgusting as it was, only Pushy would have put any kind of worth on it.
