Two Weeks Late on Partial Deposit Return and Didn't Include Pet Deposit

What to do?

My wife and I recently purchased a second house and moved out of a temporary apartment. We have one question about the deposit returned from Landlord.

The particulars first:

1. We did not receive our deposit disposition/ ledger statement and refund until 6 wks after the move out date (Utah law states that we should have had it within 30 days.)

2. The disposition is much different than what the resident manager verbally stated the charges would be (by double) after we completed our move-out walk-through inspection.

3. The pet deposit we're owed was not even mentioned in the disposition. 

So, the question, how do we get our money from them now?

I have both called and emailed and so far have received no response from them. I'm unsure whether I can submit the "TENANT'S NOTICE TO PROVIDE DEPOSIT DISPOSITION" (per Utah Code 57-17-3, etc.) since I received the partial refund before I submitted the formal "DO IT NOW!" paperwork to them.

Any suggestions?
