My landlord has refused to sign my certified 30-day notice letter and security deposit demand letter. He has changed his mailing address as well. I want to file a claim for my security deposit in small claims court, but is there any point? I'm sure he won't accept or respond to that either.

Yes, you should file the claim. The easiest way to do this, however, is to go to housing court. The 'housing specialist' can tell you what you need to do, show you forms, and explain the ways you can serve your landlord. For example, if you use a constable to serve your complaint, it does not really matter what the landlord signs or refuses to sign, he will be served. Of course, you will need to find an address for the landlord. Good luck, and please tell your friends about The Forum
