Security Deposit Not Returned | Washington

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

mold in apartment making family sick. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 6 years. My monthly rent is $1,781. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under your state's security deposit statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct properly documented.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I went through almost teh exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
