I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

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 $1,889. I have a written lease.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

For commercial lease disputes: check if there's a personal guarantee. If you signed one, your personal assets are at risk even if the business fails. This is one area where attorney review before signing is worth every penny.
