Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:05:14 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/bad-faith--commercial-security-deposit-return-issu-165781.html My former commercial landlord refuses to return the security deposit. He wrote a bad check to me. I sued in small claims for the security deposit, won. I have a final judgment from the court but he still refuses to pay. It has been 90 days past the final judgment. I moved out 7/1/09. I also have another small claims matter that went to appeal (after several delays by him) and has a final judgment over 90 days old that he refuses to pay. What exactly shall I file now and what penalties can I realistically recoup? This guy is a real piece of work. Thank you in advance. I really appreciate any assistance.

I'm about to travel to the West Coast to visit family and friends which will include professional photography for family pictures. My haircut looks like I just had recent brain surgery while the rest of my haircut looks alright. Do you think there will be lawyers interested in the case on a contigency basis and what type of attorney should I seek out?

My hornbook understanding from years back is that there is generally a duty by landlords to mitigate when a lessee abandons. I was told in passing recently that this duty does not apply to commercial leases in California if there is a clause in the agreement that waives this right. I read an article on Lexis from an attorney that states this waiver is prohibited in California. Neither party cited any authority. Did not find anything in a cursory review of the commerical code, and CC 1952 et seq. did not have a silver bullet. Anyone have a starting point for authority or care to hazard an opinion? Thanks.

Also, he did not say where he worked, only that he was calling from "the legal department." He left a toll free number to call back. We googled it but found no information. This sounds like a scam, as the man said to call back by November 12th or he was instructed to file charges against this person. Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:47:13 PST
