In Iowa, can a landlord file bankruptcy on a tenants security deposit that has already moved out?
We moved out on November 15. By Dec. 15, we still hadn’t heard anything so we contacted them. They sent us a letter saying that they would give us our deposit by Dec. 31. We waited and had not heard from them. We just got a letter saying they filed bankruptcy and listed us as their creditor? How do we get our money back?
I do not think that is legal. All states require the deposit be kept separate from the owner’s personal money. This is not their money and they had no right to spend it. They are to hold it until you move out. Even if the get away with this, you can still sue them for illegal use of your deposit.
