Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
landlord keeping entire security deposit. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been renting for 4 years. My monthly rent is $2,541. I have a written lease.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

The thing that gets people is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
