My lease terminated and I moved out. We are now at the tail end of the 30 days by which the security deposit must be returned. I sent a demand letter immediately upon vacating. I have only just been informed that the property (entire building, including my former unit) went into foreclosure; the property management company pointed me to the landlord to recover the deposit. The landlord is nowhere to be found. On the lease he was hidden behind an LLC, and his listed phone number is no longer in service.
Assuming he can even be located, do I even have any recourse? If his LLC is dissolved, does the security deposit become irretrievable? I never received a statement of what bank account was holding the security deposit.
